BLACK FIRE SESSIONS AT THE BROAD - July 17, 2019

Los Angeles Black artists of the '60s and '70s created performances and installations to imbue their art and the everyday life of their communities with African rituals and traditions. In doing so, they transformed how art forms and artists were defined. Drawing from the radical experimentation pioneered by artists of the Black Arts Movement, this two-part series celebrating The Broad’s exhibition, Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power features live music by innovators of free jazz alongside younger artists at the intersections of jazz, R&B, electronic, hip-hop, and soul. The title takes its inspiration from LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka) and Larry Neal’s Black Fire: An Anthology of Afro-American Writing. Tickets include access to the Soul of a Nation special exhibition and The Broad's third floor galleries during the event.
