The Roots of a Renaissance
Click here for tickets
The Roots of a Renaissance is a curated visual and sonic exhibit celebrating the poets, artists, and storytellers who give language to the Lowcountry, honoring the 50th anniversary of Black History Month, also known as Black Futures Month. The experience unfolds through a gallery featuring a dynamic group of artists including the three most recent Moja Arts Festival poster artists alongside a live poetic play that weaves the voices of five poets into a story of roots, resolution, and renaissance, arranged by Charleston Poet Laureate A$iahMae and backed by a music trio.
A public workshop designed to deepen community conversation around Black Futures Month and the vital role art plays in shaping a collective renaissance will be held earlier in the day in The Drawing Room of the Dock Street Theatre from 3:00-4:30pm.

Additional assistance and guidance is provided by the less formal networks of the MOJA Advisory Board, a group of civic leaders who assist with fundraising and advocacy, and the Friends of MOJA patron circle, representing individual and corporate donors.
