Obsidian Theatre presents twenty-one versions of it. In 2021, Obsidian Theatre engaged twenty-one writers to create twenty-one new stories about imagined Black futures. Twenty-one to celebrate Obsidian's twenty-first anniversary in 2021. Each playwright was tasked with scripting a ten-minute monodrama in response to the question "What is the future of Blackness?" To counter the intense early-pandemic isolation and the trauma of witnessing heightened violence toward Black bodies, Obsidian's goal was to give as many opportunities to as many diverse Black artists as possible and to bring new voices together from both theatre and film. It was a grand experiment to create a rich tapestry of possibilities and to uplift Black artists in the process. A radical offering in unprecedented times, newly appointed Obsidian artistic director Mumbi Tindyebwa Otu's curatorial aim was joyful, aspirational, and empowering: come together in this moment and create something communal, unapologetically Black, and with the Black gaze at its centre--art as the architecture for creating those futures."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Canadian drama $x Black authors. 650 0 $a Canadian drama $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Black people $v Drama. 650 0 $a Black people $x Forecasting $x Forecasting $v Drama. 650 5 $a Canadian drama (English) $x Black Canadian authors. 650 5 $a Canadian drama (English) $y 21st century. 650 6 $a Theatre canadien $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374702 $x Auteurs noirs. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374702 650 6 $a Theatre canadien $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373679 $y 21e siecle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373679 650 6 $a Theatre canadien-anglais $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374702 $x Auteurs noirs. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0374702 650 6 $a Theatre canadien-anglais $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373679 $y 21e siecle. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0373679 650 7 $a Canadian drama $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845094 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Monodramas (Literature) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Drama. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Theatre. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000474 710 2 $a Obsidian Theatre Company, $e issuing body. 776 08 $i Online version: $t 21 black futures. $d Toronto : Playwrights Canada Press, 2023 $z 9780369104571 $z 9780369104571 $w (OCoLC)1379288732 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012618.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D52A5762E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
