In 1982, Ishmael Houston-Jones curated the Parallels series, featuring Black choreographers working in new forms. Thirty years later, he revisited that idea in "Platform 2012: Parallels". In Ishmael's session of Black Diaspora, he will discuss the importance of Black curation.

Black Diaspora events are open to a Black- or Afro-Latinx-identifying audience only.
Conceived by curator Eva Yaa Asantewaa during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter uprising, Black Diaspora launched its first activities in September 2020 as a Zoom-based peer support program serving up-and-coming, Black-identified dance and performance artists from various cultural backgrounds and aesthetic traditions.

This event is free and will take place online.
