Julia Bullock - History's Persistent Voice

Contact

Introduction

History’s Persistent Voice is Julia's Bullock mixed-media performance piece, bringing together the experiences, words and music of Black American artists.

The project's backbone is formed of commissions from leading Black female composers, including Jessie Montgomery, Tania León and Allison Loggins-Hull. In this collaborative project, with each new city in which it is performed, a new commission by a local composer is added to the programme. The performance is then accompanied by video installations designed by visual artist Hana S. Kim alongside readings from Black American poets and writers.
