Configurations in Motion: Performance Curation and Communities of Color

The two-day event will address how curatorial practice and live arts presenting can engage the particular concerns of audiences and artists of color. Our second event to discuss these issues, Configurations in Motion: Performance Curation and Communities of Color will gather performers, curators, scholars, presenters, and managers from throughout the U.S. to examine how their work involves, invests, and can further support the creative growth of people of color.

The event intends to take on important questions surrounding the presenting of live art, including: How do we imagine twenty-first century configurations of performance curation and presenting that acknowledge the particular concerns of audiences and artists of color? How does performance that relates to people of color fit into trends of contemporary curatorial practice?
