Company One presents BETTER FUTURE Episode 3: Beyond Saving Ourselves
Since May 2020, we have experienced a nationwide resurgence of action in support of Black Lives Matter following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Rayshard Brooks by police officers. Just as in other major American cities, Boston is also experiencing an explosion of gun violence. Local activists, community leaders and artist-activists, many of whom are Black women, have been leading the conversation around ending gun violence and police brutality in our community.
Join panelists Monica Cannon-Grant, Founder of Violence in Boston, Ashley Rose, C1 Playlab Playwright and Poet, and Summer L. Williams, C1 Co-Founder and Associate Artistic Director for a conversation highlighting the necessity of community organizing, racial healing and the role of art in moving forwards toward a Better Future in Boston.
Creative producer: Jasmine Brooks
Technical producer: Mads Massey
