Tradition and Creativity w/Jane Sapp

Jane Sapp is a nationally admired cultural worker, musician, educator, folklorist, and activist whose approach to social transformation is rooted in the African American musical, cultural, spiritual and human rights traditions. Through her singing, documenting local culture and stories, song-writing workshops, and other expressive work with diverse communities and youth, Jane actively engages people in creative cultural processes that help them understand and see not only the challenges faced by their communities, but their assets as well. Jane has many recordings and a book Let’s Make a Better World: Stories and Songs of Jane Sapp. She has sung all over the country and farther, and her influence reaches around the world. Among other things she is currently working to document her stories as a way to reflect on her own work and on the cultural history of the last fifty years.   https://www.janesapp.org/about
