Critical Conversations: When the Art & Movement Unite
For generations, Black artists have used their platform to convey the Black experience – the joy and pain, the successes and failures, the dreams and their struggle with our reality – to celebrate the totality of Black culture in all of its richness. Black artists and their art have no limit. No matter the form by which these artists choose to create, their work continues to prick and elevate the collective consciousness and soothes that which ails its consumer. Join us for a conversation with fellow Hoyas, who will share their gifts and how the impact of this past year helped them to find a renewed purpose in expression through writing, film, music, and artistry.
