Artist Talk: Mia Pearlman, Albert Marquès, and Keith LaMar

Art, music, and poetry are catalysts for social change and awareness. Artists Mia Pearlman, Albert Marquès, and Keith LaMar will join MSU Broad Art Museum Interim Director Steven L. Bridges for a round table discussion, including an opportunity for audience members to engage directly with the artists and delve deeper into the making of the exhibition DIGEST. Registration for this free event is required.

We encourage you to arrive early to view DIGEST before the round table begins at 5:30pm. Following the discussion, please gather with us at Murray Hall (MSU College of Music) for the kickoff concert of the FREEDOM FIRST tour. Doors to Murray Hall open at 7pm, and the concert will begin at 7:30pm.

The FREEDOM FIRST concert series was created in 2020 by Keith LaMar and Albert Marquès. In this unprecedented collaboration LaMar, who is currently incarcerated and on death row in Ohio, performs live with Marquès and a rotating group of musicians, drawing attention to the role jazz has played in his life and his ongoing fight for freedom. This event is in partnership with the MSU College of Music.

DIGEST is on view through July 9, 2023.
