📚🎙#ArtIsAWeapon Tonight, Oct. 12 at 6:30 PM: @schomburgcenter presents Between the Lines: Rest as Resistance author & @thenapministry founder Tricia Hersey will be in conversation with Dr. @joanmorgan. Watch online at the Schomburg Center's youtube channel Repost from @schomburglive • What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? is a question Tricia Hersey, founder of the Nap Ministry, confronts in her debut publication Rest as Resistance: A Manifesto. Tonight! OCT 12 | 6:30 PM Join us as Tricia Hersey (@thenapministry) invites readers to reimagine the foundations for liberation, healing, and justice. Rest as Resistance "casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted." Hersey will be joined by Dr. Joan Morgan (@joanmorgan), Program Director of the Center for Black Visual Culture (CBVC) at New York University. This fall the CBVC, inspired by Hersey’s liberatory framework of “rest is resistance," will launch The Black Rest Project (BRP) to amplify visual narratives of Black rest and leisure. Dr. Karinn Glover (@drkarinn) will open the program with a meditation. Signed copies of Rest is Resistance by Tricia Hersey, will be available for purchase from The @schomburgshop in Harlem. Mask are requested to be worn for the duration of the program. This event is presented in partnership with the Center for Black Visual Culture (@nyucbvc) at New York University.

In motion at @schomburglive. Performing this work felt like this image... Being completely immersed in what was quite a meditative experience. #Repost @visionquestnyc ・・・ 'Dapline in multiple images ' (Photo by Terrence Jenninga/terrencejennings.com) ______ #DapLine #Schomburglive #SchomburgCenter #imagesmatter #PhotographsMatter #TerrenceJennings #LadiSashaJones (at Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library)

Be grounded in your roots and nature. Dance and music have been fundamental, necessary outlets of mine since before I knew they were. The stage, like mother earth is a sanctuary where strength and perseverance are tested amongst fleeting feelings. Bodies and sounds telling stories in a language words can't always articulate. _____ #performance #performanceart #performing #performingarts #performinglive #performingartist #Schomburglive #schomburgcenter #schomburgcenterforresearchinblackculture (at Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library)
