This week, street dance activist Shamell Bell is in residence with the Kilachand Honors College here at BU. Bell will be hosting a workshop on Friday, October 26th, where students will have the opportunity to engage in conversations on inclusivity, diversity, and community.
Focusing on the intersection of art and activism, Bell has dedicated herself to creating a dialogue on the importance of social change and dance. As an original organizing member of the #blacklivesmatter movement, Bell offers a socially-conscious perspective that can enrich our understanding of the current political and cultural climate as well as our perception of the dance world.
Check out a video featuring Bell here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKyeIymsjGY to learn more about her work with the intersection of dance and political change.
We are so excited to welcome such an exciting artist and activist this week!
