Rev. Sekou: Task of the Artist in the Time of Monsters
All over the world from, San Diego
Cost: Free - $10
From the fine arts museums to foot stomping juke joints, artist have long played a key role in the movement for social justice. Critically acclaimed musician and activist, Rev. Sekou believes that artist will play a critical role in healing the acrimony that beset much of our national dialogue. Rev. Sekou’s own music builds upon movement music by the SNCC Freedom Singers, The Staple Singers, and the blues tradition. By accessing the life work of cultural genius such Albert Camus, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and Rosetta Tharpe, Rev. Sekou unearths the ways in which artists have provided the balm for wounded social justice warriors. General Admission: $10 | UCSD Student: Free via SSO | UCSD Faculty & Staff: Free via SSO
