Taking a note from acclaimed poet and author, Danez Smith, this event has two titles: (When Black Folx) Play, or Play, celebrates the extemporaneous and improvisational aspects of Black music, or play, and invites attendees to sit in the play space with the artists, following the music wherever it may go. We’ve invited some of the most innovative creators in the Twin Cities to demonstrate song construction, musical deconstruction, and jazz with you all—Kashimana Ahua, Davu Seru & deVon Gray, alongside DJ Kenna! Oh, and you aren’t off the hook! We will have a few materials in the space for you to create as well. Let’s have some fun together.
