CREATIVELY SPEAKING: WHO GETS TO SING AMERICA?

Join NBAF as we gather visionary artist’s and thinker’s Carrie Mae Weems, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, & Dr. Daniel Black in a discussion moderated by Errin Haines to explore a defining question for this moment: Who gets to shape the story of this nation? This conversation examines America as an unfinished composition, a story continuously reframed by creativity, cultural memory, and imagination. Through a dynamic dialogue at the intersection of art, history, and identity, the panel considers how Black voices have expanded, challenged, and co-authored the American narrative, and what it means to claim authorship as the nation enters its next chapter.  

Who Gets To Sing America is supported by Georgia Humanities, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, through funding from the Georgia General Assembly. NBAF’s Creatively Speaking conversation series focuses on art, culture and ideas.
