Join Hued Songs at the African-American Research Library & Cultural Center. Every month we curate a creative placemaking workshop
Join composer King Friday & poet Arsimmer McCoy in exploring sound and song as the carrier of code and liberation.
In this month's workshop Till It's Done: A Music & Poetry Workshop, participants will explore sound and song as carrier of code and caution, and liberatory instruction.
Participants will be guided through the codes found inside of call and response, simple blues chords that act as maps, and calls for rebellion and evolution disguised in beloved dance songs. Attendees will work with Arsimmer to craft lyrics and King to compose a melody, culminating in a final collective song creation; transforming personal experience and tales into powerful expression.
Workshop materials and refreshments will be provided, and those attending are encouraged to bring personal archival materials, and musical instruments with them to inspire their own process, and contribute to the collective's.
Items can include but are not limited to;
photographs
letters
figurines/toys/sculptures
tambourines
kalimba/mbira
