About this Event

In this performance, artist JJJJJerome Ellis presents portions of their latest transdisciplinary project, “Aster of Ceremonies.” Using piano, saxophone, electronics, and voice, they’ll perform excerpts from “Benediction,” a devotional song cycle attending to 18th- and 19th-century Black runaway slaves who stuttered. This lecture-performance is an ongoing attempt to, in the words of critic Hortense Spillers, “hear [slavery’s] stutter more clearly.”
