This episode of Jazz Kitchen will host musician DANA HALL (drummer, educator, composer, ethnomusicologist, and serious foodie) and chef OMAR TATE (chef, artist, poet, community builder, entrepreneur) in conversation. While grounded in their respective fields, both artists' practices span genre and media and center social justice.

This is a free virtual event. Watch the live streaming conversation right here on November 18!

This Jazz Kitchen conversation will cohere around Black women's practices of care and hospitality. We will talk about how we understand and put these concepts into action in our domestic spaces and in the world. Dr. Tammy Kernodle will share insights from her research on pianist Mary Lou Williams' and harpist/pianist Alice Coltrane's apartments/homes, their labor of care, connection, and creativity and what those spaces engendered artistically. Maya-Camille Broussard, founder of Justice of The Pies here in Chicago, shares her insight as a baker who's work sustains a strong justice-focused model. We will discuss how this work and that of women in our own families reflects and shapes an ongoing tradition of Black women's hospitality and care--a tradition that at different times extends, transcends, or works in direct opposition to mainstream, state- and industry-led notions.
