Guest Workshop
Wade in the Water, the Possibility of Black Music in Jewish Spaces
The musical idioms of the African diaspora are a profound element of contemporary expression, history and culture. Even so, does that necessarily mean its sounds have a place in Jewish spaces? What is its relationship to American Jews and the music already heard in Jewish spaces? And what about issues of tokenizing, appropriation and theology? This session, led by Artist in Residence Anthony Russell, attempts to find out through conversation, exploration and song.
