The commodification of human beings primarily from the continent of Africa provided a free labor force for over 400 years. There are many histories that are still debated and told through different lenses, but stories that are centered on the attributes, perseverance, and courage, of a great people are rarely shared. Created and curated by Mr. Delbert Richardson of The Unspoken Truths, 1619: Resistance/Resilience/Remembrance/Liberation takes viewers on a chronological journey - from the beginnings of our origins in Africa, American Chattel Slavery, and the Jim Crow Era to modern-day African American originators, inventors, and innovators. MLK Jr. Celebration by SU Office of Multicultural Affairs Every January, we celebrate the life and legacy of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We reflect on the lessons he imparted, the dreams he shared, and how we can continue to respond to his call to act in great love. Make sure to RSVP here.

My Worlds on Fire. How 'Bout Yours? by Washington Ensemble Theatre Six Seattle artists from all forms and genres are invited to present a brand new work based on the theme: My Worlds on Fire. How ‘Bout Yours? Kiki Abba will host this super chill and highly interactive showcase that gives a chance for audiences to learn about cool new artists, have a laugh, maybe shed a tear in your crying hanky, and cheer on these new works in progress. Stay tuned for the lineup (to be announced soon)! Momentous Gesture by Rafael Soldi / Strange Fire Collective Momentous Gesture—curated by the Strange Fire Collective—is an exhibition of work by women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ artists whose work embraces gesture while attempting to move the needle on intersectional socio-political issues, reminding us that beauty can be found in a rigorous social conceptual framework. Whether it is through corporeal gesture—dance, ritual, durational performance—or through formal gesture in paint, collage, and collaborative human-nature printmaking, these artists weaponize beauty to bring focus to important questions about the world around us. Shakespeare: Drum & Colours by Seattle Shakespeare Two plays. Two directors. Nine Actors. It’s theatrical lightning in a bottle! Juxtaposing a comedy and a tragedy in rotating repertory is a showpiece of range and talent. Hamlet and As You Like It are distilled to their essences in sizzling adaptations that focus on the actor’s art of storytelling peeled bare. For the past two years, Seattle Shakespeare has supported POC artists on a journey to explore personal connections to the classics through our Shakespeare Equity Engagement program and the Holding Space project. In meeting the community’s needs this all-POC Shakespeare repertory company sprang forth with 360-degree representation, including actors, directors, and an all-POC design team. It’ll be a theatrical highwire act to shed new light on familiar works. #DoTheWork Arts Leadership Formation Part of our commitment, as Arts Leaders, is to remain open and teachable in the formation of our leadership posture and approach.
