In a grand finale to our prematurely closed play, we are launching a special two-part CORE series around SCHOOL GIRSLS: OR, THE AFRICAN MEAN GIRLS PLAY. In this series, Berkeley Rep directing fellow Nailah Harper-Malveaux, who also worked as the assistant director on the show, will speak with two local artists about recent exhibits that connect to the work onstage. If you’re not able to see the play online, know that this conversation is still for you! We’ll reference the play as a jumping off point, but the majority of the conversation will delve into how the play’s themes connect with the Black is Beautiful exhibit, which was recently shown at the Museum of the African Diaspora. Joining us is Mark Sabb, the Senior Director of Innovation and Engagement at the museum, as well as an artist, writer and creator of the art collective, FeltZine.
