This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression.

It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!

Jones, lighting designer, Stephanie Ann Johnson and set designer, Celeste Mortore about James IjamesKill Move Paradise at Shotgun Players (Berkeley, CA) association with Lorraine Hansberry Theatre (San Francisco, CA) through August 4, 2019.
