The Dream Unfinished | Beyond Buzzwords: An Exploration of Arts Activism
Join arts administrator/educator and The Dream Unfinished co-founder Eun Lee in a two-part workshop which explores artist identities in community, and presents different strategies of embedding social justice into a responsive and responsible artistic practice.
Founded in 2015, The Dream Unfinished is an activist orchestra out of New York City. Their mission is to use classical music as a platform to engage audiences in dialogues surrounding social and racial justice. Their 2018-2019 season, Deep River, focused on the climate crisis. It included music from Erie's own Harry T Burleigh.
The Dream Unfinished's performances are never just performancesTheir chamber concerts have included panel discussions, dramatic portrayals of their composers, and musician talk backs. Their orchestral performances have also included interactive art installations and speakers who have ranged from Kimberle Crenshaw, Vince Warren, to the late Erica Garner. In each season, The Dream Unfinished has partnered with social justice organizations, such as the Center for Constitutional Rights and Black Women's Blueprint, to promote their missions and ongoing campaigns in this work.
