Harlem Renaissance Revisited
Tuesday, March 4, at 7:00pm
In this major retrospective event, poet and novelist John Keene, interdisciplinary artists Mendi + Keith Obadike and poet Evie Shockley explore representations of race, sexual identity and class in the revolutionary literature of such Harlem Renaissance poets as Sterling Brown, Langston Hughes, Anne Spencer, Richard Bruce Nugent and later generations of writers they influenced.Through readings, discussions and multidisciplinary performances, the participants will revisit the complex cultural, intellectual and political fabric of the movement that would forever change our city and our nation.
