Video! Speaking of Passage...
Were you hoping to catch Speaking of Passage: Two Artists in the Conversation of Migration with Theaster Gates and Kelly Tsai, but couldn’t make it down to HPAC? Well you’re in luck, we’ve got video of the performance right here. Enjoy this video clip from the program, and make sure you get yourself down here for our next event!
For those that hadn’t heard about it, the program was a unique “performance-dialogue” that weaves together the two art forms of sculpture and spoken word, and featured sculptor Theaster Gates and Poet Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai. In their performance, Theaster and Kelly blended the richness of their two cultural traditions into a larger ritual of re-membering and transforming word through contemporary performance.

Wish you were here in Paris again, Theaster. We've got an open mic night happening Friday, which is an idea largely inspired by you.
Maybe I'll do something in your honor.

Thanks so much, Todd. The Paris event is a big part of what is inspiring this new performance work. It is based in spirituals, then moves through hood topics. Looking forward to more collaborations! theaster
