About this Event
Join us at The Land School for a special evening celebrating music, culture, and community as we welcome the Wallace Foundation’s Peer Learning Community to Chicago.
Rooted in reverence for the cultural brilliance and sacred creativity of Chicago’s South Side, this celebration will highlight two of The Land School's creative partners, promising incredible performances as we convene neighbors and visitors from afar.
From 5:45 to 6:15 PM, D-Composed, accompanied by Angel Bat Dawid, will play a repertoire of Black compositions, culminating in a set by Duane Powell, DJ, musicologist and cultural historian, from 6:15 to 8 PM.
As we continue to create space and time for arts-based socio-pedagogical practices through our radical archival stewardship and experimental programming, we are honored to host you alongside our peers.
Limited tickets are available.
We look forward to welcoming you!
