CONJURE: Calling up the Spirit of Struggle, Resistance, & Liberation.
We invite you to a forum for progressive artist/activists: a series of experiments in jazz music, spoken word, and theatre. This session will feature kt shorb & the Generic Ensemble Company (GenEnCo) with black improvisational music by the 3Collective.
Rooted in the tradition of improvisation, revolution, and blues, Conjure is a sovereign site for artistic/exploratory/spiritual collaboration, expression, and rejuvenation. Each jam session will highlight the “Afrological improvised music” of the 3Collective along with a featured spoken word performer, dancer, and filmmaker inspired by the jazz aesthetic.
A salmon rojo production. Co-sponsored by the UT Austin Community Engagement Center, John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies, and the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies.
This is a fundraiser for GenEnCo: they will receive part of the proceeds.
$7 dollar suggested donation.
Saturday March 27, 9pm.
