Transient Beings: Jamal R. Moore

As curator my mission is to champion inclusion within our institutions and communities. As an artist I am deeply concerned with the power of resonance and relationships. These motivations have inspired new works, collaborations many questions and a few techniques. My hope is to curate a series that will engage diverse narratives, challenge, rage, exchange, resolve and heal. I will collect artifacts from each concert and publish them as a compilation of creative methodologies.

“As musicians we are healers of humanity and have a responsibility to cleanse dis-­‐ease through positive tones, frequencies and vibrations. Music is the nucleus and universal language of the oversoul, mind, body and spirit.”
