Pairing Elders and Next Generation Leaders
Embracing our Roots: Rooted and Rising pairs artists and arts activist Elders with next-generation arts leaders in conversation, mining the continuum of cultural knowledge and experience that built today’s arts communities. In this program, we partner with two other Black-led organizations; In Black Ink and The Givens Collection of African American Literature.
