Juneteenth: One Day of Rest

This is an opportunity for us to acknowledge the history of Juneteenth. Our liberation manifests itself in many different ways, so we take this moment to examine jazz music as a form of liberation and the contributions Detroit jazz artists have made. Through collective meditation we will pause and reflect on who we are as individuals and who we are as a community. Our stillness is an act of rebellion in a for profit society that never prioritizes rest! Reserve your spot here.

Date & Time:

Friday , June 19

Location: 3663 Woodward Ave, Suite 150. Detroit, MI
