“It was always possible” for individual artists to lead the movement we are living in now. For this first Baltimore Butterfly Session of 2021, hear from Obie award-winning actress and Pulitzer Prize nominated playwright Eisa Davis in conversation with her father, a leader in the Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition; the music of multitalented musician Darius Christian; and poetry by international spoken word activist and poet Lady Brion. Last year, we questioned everything: our country’s history of racialized violence, the very underpinnings of democracy, and the complex legacy of the White American Theatre. BIPOC artists began organizing with renewed energy and vital shifts began to take shape. But much of the field’s focus has been on providing correctives for institutions, when it’s the artists themselves who have been mobilizing together to start the revolution of equitable theatre practices.
