    Work-in-progress and public discussion: Sample the next stage of work by dancer/choreographer Germaine Ingram, composer/musician Bobby Zankel, and visual artist John Dowell as they collaborate in developing a multimedia performance piece commemorating the nine African Americans enslaved by President George Washington in the President's House at 6th and Market Street here in Philadelphia in the 1790s. The project gives significant artists and their audiences chances to consider how history is preserved and retold, how legacies of African traditions and practices may be sustained and transformed in arts, and how resonances of painful pasts shape ways that we imagine our own place and responsibilities. Experience the creative process of the artists. Share thoughts and questions about how the arts are able to spur and shape public discourse about issues of community interest and concern.
