Curator: N2020 In A Day
In partnership w/ The Frist Art Museum
Nashville, TN
May 2021
N2020 in a Day is an outdoor community engagement program presented in conjunction with the exhibition N2020: Community Reflections, organized by the Frist Art Museum with guest curator Woke3. The performance will include choreographers, dancers, musicians, and spoken-word poets, showcasing local artists, their perspectives on the year 2020, and their resilience in moving forward.
“It is our goal to touch as many lives as possible by establishing common ground through artistic expression,” writes Woke3 in a curatorial statement. “We want more people to think inclusively as we cultivate ground for all to share how the events of the year affected them as community members, artists, business owners, etc., and to support people shouting ‘We Need Change’ through their respective art forms. That is where we begin the work.”
Bring lawn chairs or blankets and join us at the Centennial Park Event Ellipse (the lawn in front of the entrance to the Parthenon) for this multidisciplinary performance.
Chef Consultant for N2020: Woke3 (of Norf Studios) in Partnership with the Frist Art Museum.
