Hope Mohr

Shifting Cultural Power

Case Studies and Questions in Performance

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Shifting Cultural Power is a reckoning with white cultural power and a call to action. The book locates the work of curating performance in conversations about social change, with a special focus on advancing racial equity in the live arts. Based on the author's journey as a dancer, choreographer, and activist, Shifting Cultural Power invites us to imagine new models of relationship among artists and within arts organizations--models that transform our approach, rather than simply re-cast who holds power. Mohr covers such subjects as transitioning a hierarchical nonprofit to a model of distributed leadership; expanding the canon; having difficult conversations about race; and reckoning with aesthetic bias.
