Warrior Ecologies: Black Fighting Formations (BFF)

EastSide Cultural Center / October 13, 2018

BFF is a part of Duets with Organizations series from Music Research Strategies.

Audiences will learn more about the campaign itself and participate in cultural formation as a methodology for new vocabularies of Improvisation, emergent narrative and strategies, and performing-political education relevant to issues in our midst.
