Hosted by author Lorene Cary, Founder, Art Sanctuary
The First Person Festival closes with a star-studded tribute to award-winning poet and activist Sonia Sanchez. Celebrate Sonia with Talib Kweli, Dr. Haki Madhubuti, Ruby Dee, Rennie Harris, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Evan Solot, Odean Pope and Monnette Sudler, Amiri Baraka, and other special guests who will illustrate the breadth of Sonia’s influence. Using poetry, prose and music, they will honor one of the most significant artists of our time.
The tribute will be filmed live for inclusion in BaddDDD Sonia Sanchez, a feature-length documentary being produced by award-winning filmmakers Janet Goldwater, Barbara Attie, and Sabrina Schmidt Gordon.
Sonia Sanchez—poet, activist, scholar—was the Laura Carnell Professor of English and Women’s Studies at Temple University. She is the recipient of both the Robert Frost Medal for distinguished lifetime service to American poetry and the Langston Hughes Poetry Award. One of the most important writers of the Black Arts Movement, Sanchez is the author of sixteen books, including Homegirls and Handgrenades, Does Your House Have Lions?, and her most recent work, Morning Haiku.
In celebration of Sonia Sanchez, this event is funded by The Lomax Family Foundation, The Lomax Companies/900 AM WURD, Avenue of the Arts, Inc. and PECO.
Philly 360 is a proud promotional sponsor of the event.
This special event is presented in partnership with Art Sanctuary.
