Join us for an intimate cocktail party, discussion, and performance that reflects the visionary artists and works presented at Harlem Stage through our signature commissioning program, WaterWorks. Transnational MC, musician, author, and WaterWorks artist, Jason ‘Timbuktu’ Diakité will bring to life a theater project inspired by his debut book A Drop of Midnight. He will be in conversation with scholar and author Monica Miller and then perform with The Rakiem Walker Project.
Born of American parents with roots in Harlem by way of South Carolina and Pennsylvania, this first generation Swedish artist unpacks racism, bigotry, artistry, family and belonging through an unflinching narrative that dares to ask the questions: Where do I belong? Who are my people? Does my skin define me?
