Live Artists Live: Sings of Freedom

USC Visions and Voices

The fourth iteration of USC’s biannual performing arts festival, celebrating the liberating potentials of art and song.

USC Roski Graduate Programs

Inspired by poet, writer, and civil rights activist Maya Angelou’s verse, “The caged bird sings of freedom,” “Live Artists Live: Sings of Freedom” spotlights fusions of performance art, poetry, and music that amplify oppressed voices and resist racism, sexism, xenophobia, and homophobia. The full-day event will bring together internationally acclaimed artists and scholars for vibrant performances, immersive environments, and engaging discussions illuminating marginalized people’s struggles and joys, while striving for social justice through performative, lyrical storytelling, and musical art experiments.<h3>Schedule (subject to change):</h3>10:30 a.m.–12 p.m.: VIRTUAL KEYNOTE by <a href="https://blueflowerarts.com/artist/joy-harjo/)" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Joy Harjo</a>12 p.m.­–1 p.m.: HYBRID VIRTUAL PRESENTATION of Uroborus vs. Trump’s Wall by <a href="https://www.guillermogomezpena.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Guillermo Gómez-Peña</a>1 p.m.–2 p.m.: LUNCH 2 p.m.–3 p.m.: MULTIMEDIA PERFORMANCE/SCREENING of Boney Manilli by <a href="https://studioedgararceneaux.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Edgar Arceneaux</a> 3 p.m.­–4 p.m.: LINER NOTES FOR BEYONCÉ by <a href="https://www.madisonmooreonline.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">madison moore</a> and <a href="https://www.daphneabrooks.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Daphne A.
