Art, films, more on Stone Center fall agenda
A Grammy-nominated Afro-Puerto Rican ensemble and an art exhibition featuring the latest work of a Moroccan-born artist will be among the fall programs at the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill center also will host international visiting fellows from the Instituto Universitario de Barlovento (IUB) of Venezuela for a weeklong residency that will include meetings on a proposed study abroad program.
The center will present films and discussions that explore its fall semester theme, “Passion and Remembrance: Dislocation/Relocation/Diaspora (D/R/D).” The films will highlight contemporary and historical movements of people and the conflicts that tend to define their daily lives.
The center, founded in 1988, is dedicated to broadening the range of intellectual discourse about African diaspora cultures. The following programs will be free and open to the public in the center unless otherwise noted. For more information, call the center at (919) 962-9001.
