About this Event

City of Bones Gem of The Confluence, A Listening Session

Join us at Hillman Library at University of Pittsburgh for a unique experience! Dive into the mesmerizing world of sound with a listening session featuring the work of August Wilson Archive Community Artist Scholar Award Recipient Malik Washington. Malik will present and discuss his recently created body of work which is based on August Wilson's play Gem of the Ocean, set in Pittsburgh circa 1904. City of Bones / Gem of the Confluence is a mixtape and installation that explores Wilson's artistic life and theatre through the rich history of Black music in Pittsburgh, collaging archival audio and play dialogue with the sounds of artists such as Mary Lou Williams, Ahmad Jamal, Romare Bearden, and more. Immerse yourself in the music and let it transport you to another realm. This event is a must for music enthusiasts looking for a one-of-a-kind auditory journey. Don't miss out on this opportunity to discover a new favorite album in a cozy setting!
