Black Joy in the Hour of Chaos is a cycle of musical, dance and spoken word poetry performances that evoke "black joy." Marc Bamuthi Joseph has composed a vibrant and participatory performance that activates and engages community, congregating regularly under a parachute-turned-revival-tent for moments of intimate performance and celebration.
Black Joy in the Hour of Chaos activations are complemented by live performances by Javier Madrid Ninja of the Legendary House of Ninja, afrobeat/house/hip hop band Ayoinmotion, neo soul/jazz/fusion band Freelance, poets from Urban Word NYC, blues/funk/soul band Keith "The Captain" Gamble and Brooklyn United Marching Band with music spun by DJ Raydar Ellis including a special Prince DJ tribute!
The Studio Museum in Harlem will also provide Black Joy attendees with free admission to the museum from 2-5pm offering a mix of tours, vogue tutorials and art-making workshops.
