Join us this Thursday, Nov. 10, at 5:30 p.m. for a collective immersion in “Sermon II: Our Mourning Due,” an experimental multimedia collaboration between exhibiting artists Akeema-Zane and Rena Anakwe. Performing live, the artists weave a dirge composed of their writings alongside the poem “Go Down Death” (1927) by James Weldon Johnson. Inspired by Johnson’s words and Aaron Douglas’ accompanying illustrations, they create a living, breathing offering to honor “what it means to rest in a time of mourning.” Imploring themes in Johnson’s poem, Akeema-Zane and Anakwe consider the relationship between Black women, labor, and death. All are welcome. RSVP to [email protected].
