Voices from the African Diaspora: Playwrights Writing around the World
Sat, Jan 28, 2012 @ 07:30 PM - 09:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free.
Voices from the modern African diaspora shift with geography, experience, racial mixing and time. In different cultures, Blackness takes on different meanings. The diverse experiences of the African diaspora will be illuminated through a performance of theatrical scenes from signature works by playwrights Kwame Kwei-Armah, a British artist of Black Grenadian ancestry; Alemtsehay Wedajo, an exiled Ethiopian artist; and Jane Harrison, an Aboriginal artist of Muruwari descent from Australia. Their theatrical expressions reflect the multiple ways that identity is transformed and articulated in a global world. Following the performance, a discussion will explore the challenges faced by immigrants and communities of color internationally. The discussion will have interdisciplinary impact, linking theatrical writing and representation to sociology, political science, religious studies, psychology, ethnic studies, history, philosophy, gender studies and more. The program will be facilitated by Philip Akin, a Black Canadian artist and the artistic director of Torontoâs multicultural Obsidian Theatre Company.
Organized by the USC School of Theatre.
