Join us at 6pm on September 29, 2021 for a conversation on our Instagram page with Daniel Comegys, a Baltimore native, singer, and former student at the short-lived, but influential Baltimore Institute of Musical Arts. The BIMA was formerly sited at the Upton Mansion.
Documenting the Legacy of Black Artists in Baltimore
Afro Charities presents Re-Reading the News: Documenting the Legacy of Black Artists in Baltimore with Dr. Leslie King Hammond, Angela N. Carroll, and Deyane Moses.
Re-Reading the News opens with the reading of an article from the AFRO American Newspapers’ archives that will set the tone for the conversation to follow. During this event, we’ll hear from an intergenerational panel of brilliant thinkers and makers about the work they’re doing to document the legacy of Black artists in Baltimore.
