Transcending Continents: A Black History Month Celebration

The Housatonic Museum of Art in collaboration with Shanna Melton of
Poetic Soul Arts presents Transcending
Continents: A Black History Month Celebration in the Performing Arts Center
of Housatonic Community College at 900 Lafayette Blvd., Bridgeport, CT on
Thursday, February 27, 2014 from 6 – 9 PM, free and open to the public.  This event includes artists from Senegal,
Antigua and America who will explore how music, poetry and storytelling create
a spiritual communication that transcends continents to create a psychic
connection. Stories of love and ancestry that are universal are conveyed
through the gift of art. Featured performers Bideew Bou Bess accompanied by
Tony Vacca, along with Gina LeVon Simpson, Tenisi Davis and Iyaba Ibo Mandigo
use words and sounds to share their experience.
