Talking Back Episode Three Season Two: Black Joy, Black Futures, Black Liberation

Hosted by artEquity founder and executive director, Carmen Morgan, the first series filmed in 2019 brought artEquity’s practice of facilitating hard and necessary conversations to a broader audience. The curtain was pulled back, and viewers gained insight into the activism and progress achieved by theatre practitioners across the field. This next three-part web series, Talking Back Season 2, will be no different. Black creatives discuss the post-2020 world they are dreaming into and creating. They discuss what Black Joy actually is and how Black Joy can coexist in a world entrenched in violent anti-Blackness. The conversation reveals the deep ancestral roots and history at the core of their work. Through the sharing of their own practices, they unpack the nuances of Black expression, and the peace and groundedness that comes with being unapologetically Black.
