The Artists are Here to Disturb the Peace
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains

Jé Exodus Hooper, Revolutionary MPS., MA., D.Min., PhD
With Gail Johnson Vaughan, Worship Associate
In an interview with James Baldwin in 1961, this statement rang true: “The artists are here to disturb the peace”. This small phrase came at an opportune time, predating the Black Power Movement. In this way, Hooper will explore where are the artists today and how do we curate unrest for change?
