Tuesday Brown Bag Lecture - 'Speaking from the 51st (dream) state in the First Person Plural' Date: 1/16/2007; 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Location: 202 South Thayer St., Rm 2022, Ann Arbor Host Department: Institute for the Humanities Sekou Sundiata, performance artist Artists at Work Series Detailed Information Poet and performer Sundiata will talk about this multi-media music-theater performance that has evolved out of meetings and residencies across the United States. Sundiata appeared at U-M in 2003 as both a solo theater artist and a front man for his band. The artist and his musical ensemble take us on a galvanizing soul search for our identity through his poetic and personal State of the American Soul Address. The adventure reconciles humor, hatred, poignancy and joy in its quest to find a vision of what it means to be both a citizen and an individual in a complex society. Among the issues considered are the meaning of the pursuit of happiness; what a public imagination steeped in violence says about who we are; and the prospects for love, compassion and human solidarity. Free and open to the public. Contact Information Doretha Coval 734 936-3518 humin@umich.edu |
