Film screening, refreshments, and dialogue
Join us for an evening of film, history, and conversation on Samba’s cultural and political legacy. We’ll screen a feature on a 1950s Samba composer, followed by an introduction to the first chapter of Mark Hertzman’s Making Samba.
Refreshments will be served, and the event will close with an open dialogue space for reflection and exchange.
Recommended reading: Hertzman, M. A. (2013). Making Samba: A New History of Race and Music in Brazil. Duke University Press.
Reading chapter 1 will enhance our conversation, but it is not required.
