The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady: A Listening Event
Join writer and broadcaster Ben Kritikos for a collective listening of The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963) - Charles Mingus’ searing, orchestrated cry of beauty, rage and refusal.
Experience a sound-world born of the Civil Rights movement, of radical Black thought, of bodies in motion and voices in struggle. After listening, we open space for conversation - on music as resistance, on sound as memory and on how these histories reverberate not just in the US, but here in Govanhill.
From Red White Blues: An Anthology of America’s Music, to the echoes we carry - bring your ears, your questions, your politics.
*No age restriction; however, small children are not advised to attend as this is a listening event that will require undisturbed listening for the 39-minute duration of the album. The event will have seating but this will be limited to a first come first served basis. The audience will be limited to 20.
