Urban Stages: The Sounds of Freedom: Juneteenth

Tue, Jun 21 2022
4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Washington Irving, Auditorium

after school Juneteenth

Through participatory arts practices, we will explore the sounds of freedom and learn about the holiday of Juneteenth.  June 19, 1865, the day that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. and true freedom and independence for all Americans.  Join us as we discuss the concept of liberation. "Are we really free?" "How do we get free?" Join this interactive arts and activism workshop and create your own emancipatory arts practice.

This program is offered by Urban Stages, from their website: "To champion new works by artists of diverse cultural backgrounds and to make these works available to all.

We do this by discovering and nurturing artists through our DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, investing in artists through our MAINSTAGE PROGRAM that produces new work Off-Broadway, and by touring artists, admission-free plays/workshops and more via our OUTREACH PROGRAM!

Urban Stages seeks to give talents a venue to address the multi-faceted issues facing our contemporary world and the resources to develop their voices and gifts. We also work hard to eliminate the economic and geographic barriers around art and theater in order to make both more accessible and inclusive."
