651 ARTS: The Past and Future of Culture Architects - Episode 4: Pioneering the Future

What does the future look like? 651 ARTS current Executive Director, Toya A. Lillard talks to us about the full circle moment that finds her leading an institution in which her predecessors are also her mentors. Embracing the Sankofic principles of looking to the past to build the future, Lillard considers what it means to be a living archive for our community, and to uphold legacy whilst forging new ground, in a new building and a new Brooklyn. “A Griot is someone who passes on their society’s history, especially through stories, poems and music.” VIRTUAL GRIOT is an original digital series featuring creatives in the role of Griots as they relay the stories responsible for keeping history, tradition, and culture alive. Season 2, 651 ARTS: The Past and Future of Culture Architects, commemorates the organization’s origin story, as told by the powerful Black women who spearheaded it. 651 ARTS (Brooklyn, NY) is a place to create and experience art that is led by centers and celebrates Black voices.
