Hattiloo Memphis Black Arts Festival
Price: Free
Bandele has frequently voiced his concerns that African-American artists in Memphis aren’t as connected as they need to be and, as a result, they miss many economic and artistic opportunities. To compensate, he’s organized a number of events designed primarily to introduce black actors to one another and to consider their place in history and as part of the contemporary Memphis arts scene. Last year, Bandele held his first Black Arts Symposium. This year, he’s taking things a step further with a free day-long festival showcasing dancers, writers, actors, and musicians.
“The goal is to introduce the community at large to the diversity of our city and to forecast how Hattiloo will use its new space in Overton Square to give a physical platform for artists,” Bandele says.
