Through an immersive interchange of spoken word and song, monet will share new poetry composed in response to the large-scale portraits on view, which blend themes of Black love, resistance, joy, and community building. Supporting monet will be pianist and composer Samora Pinderhughes and percussionist Weedie Braimah—both collaborators on monet’s forthcoming album, when the poems do what they do—as well as trombonist Craig Harris and bassist Jeremiah Edwards, with vocals from Jehbreal Jackson.
