On Mentorship: Public Discussion with Anna Deavere Smith and Samora Pinderhughes
Friday, January 24, 2025 at 7pm
Wesleyan University's Center for the Arts
Crowell Concert Hall, 50 Wyllys Avenue, Middletown, Connecticut
Free and open to the public.
Anna Deavere Smith Hon. ’97, the 2024–2025 Artist in Residence at Wesleyan University's Center for the Arts, will engage in a discussion about art, civic engagement, art’s role in healing the wounds of history, and the importance of intergenerational mentorship with musician and composer Samora Pinderhughes. One of the most important relationships artists can have is to each other. In this conversation, Smith and Pinderhughes will explore the history and meaning of their relationship as mentor/mentee, and how they nurture similar reciprocal relations in the worlds they create through their individual arts practices. Learn more about this discussion...
And as the final engagement of her year-long artist residency with the Center for the Arts, Smith will assemble a multi-day convening of guests and hosts, thinkers and doers, from the Wesleyan University campus and beyond from April 9 to 12.
