Welcome.
On February 3, 2023, five women dancers and cultural leaders gathered on Tulane’s campus for a panel on “African-American Women Affecting the Arts in New Orleans,” as part of a larger biannual program, Women and Movement, which highlights the diverse cultural, professional, and community work of New Orleanian and Gulf South women. The event was organized by the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South and Dr. John “Ray” Proctor, professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance.
Panelists were Ausettua Amor Amenkum, Mariama Curry, Jarrell Hamilton, Kai Knight and Greer Goff Mendy, all of whose full credentials can be found below in more detail. Moderating was Lauren Turner-Hines, creative director of No Dream Deferred, who guided conversations around representation, exploitation, mentorship, and the history of the creative arts in New Orleans.🌱
