Citizen Speak: A Conversation with Claudia Rankine

ArtsEmerson in Boston presented Citizen Speak: A Conversation with Claudia Rankine which was livestreamed on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Sunday 4 March at 5:30 p.m. EST (Boston) / 4:30 p.m. CST (Chicago) / 2:30 p.m. PST (San Francisco).

ArtsEmerson and The American Repertory Theater invite you to a conversation with acclaimed author, poet, and MacArthur Fellow Claudia Rankine where she discusses the journey from her 2014 New York Times best-selling book of poetry Citizen: An American Lyric to her world premiere play The White Card.

This event was an opportunity to continue the conversation that over one thousand people in Greater Boston have participated in as a part of Citizen Read.

The conversation was informed by questions gathered from Citizen Read participants. Seeking ways to have meaningful and productive conversations around race, participants posed questions to themselves, to their communities, and to Ms. Rankine.
