Jessica Care Moore "Attacks on Arts and Culture..." Savneet Talwar Lecture

About Jessica Care Moore

As a Black and woman-owned publisher, Moore supports new and emerging talent while offering her poetics and performance to placemaking initiatives across her home state of Michigan and beyond. Recently, Moore added filmmaker to her repertoire, writing and starring in "He Looked Like A Postcard," a semi-autobiographical feature film she describes as a "love letter" to the city of Detroit. This film is currently hitting the film festival circuit. Finally, Moore is the kind of down-to-earth multi-hyphenate writer/artist/public scholar who thrives from making connections with people through mentoring, dialog and discussions. She is an ideal speaker to help us think critically and act consciously as we navigate these uncertain times and continue to use arts and culture to build new worlds where creative communities emerge and thrive.
