MUSIC & DESIGN What better way to commemorate MLK Day than with, activist & author Angela Da
MUSIC & DESIGN What better way to commemorate MLK Day than with, activist & author Angela Davis, Grammy award winning bandleader, drummer, & composer @terrilynecarrington; composer, pianist, & MacArthur Fellow @vijayiyer, Grammy award winning bassist, vocalist, & composer @esperanzaspalding, bandleader & trumpet player @thattrumpetchic, and journalist Lara Peregrinelli. . . . It was refreshing and rather rewarding to see the elements of my life come full circle at my alma mater @thenewschool to discuss gender equality in jazz. Listening to the struggles of women who choose to sustain a dying artform discuss protecting and preserving their own humanity within a male dominated industry. As a designer my mission is to create safe spaces for others. . . . Angela Davis stated the origins jazz & blues are infused with notes of feminism. Terri Lyne posed the question “Why is jazz so ass backwards?” . . . Jazz is life. . . . Since humans are walking contradictions, I think the better question is why are HUMANS so ass backwards? A question we will be trying to answer till the end of time. . . . Stay Fashion Conscious. Move Fashion Forward.©️ . . . . #TheEmpressofstyle #EmpressByDesign #AngelaDavis #Humanity #terrilynecarrington #winterjazzfest #Design #Music #Research #MLKDay #Gender #parsonsalumni #Designer (at The New School) -- source link
