The Institute for Advanced Study is excited to cosponsor this one-of-a-kind event. From the listing:

At the World’s Fair in Buffalo, New York, three exhibits give radically conflicting visions of blackness in America and leave behind a fragmented archive of newspaper articles, photos, and letters.

Scholar-Artist Dr. Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe Kootin chronicles how her national team aims to perform this archive virtually verbatim on the theatrical stage through At Buffalo, a new musical in development.

The Institute for Advanced Study is excited to cosponsor this set of events. From the Umbra Search description:

Newspaper clippings become lines in a script. Photographs from 1901 become costumes. History is alive.

Umbra Search African American History hosts a conversation with local scholar-artists and Dr. Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe Kootin on how the stuff of archives and historical research—newspaper articles, photos, and letters—inspire and transform the creation of new works.
