Revival Walk: Philly Celebrates Jazz Edition
April 20 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Join Olney Culture Lab on Saturday, April 20 from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm for a Revival Walk (Philly Celebrates Jazz Edition) through Tacony Creek Park in the Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia where we will honor the sun, wind, trees, birds and nature. Mama Carla will share stories illuminating the history of jazz as well as our place in community with one another and with our natural environment.
Originally created by dance artist / activist Lela Aisha Jones during the height of the pandemic, the Revival Walks brought healing, solace and joy to participants, as facilitators lifted up Afro-centric practices in order to rebalance our relationship to the natural world.
In this edition of the Revival Walk, Mama Carla will be joined by jazz instrumentalist Marcell Bellinger, who will improvise music and sounds in the jazz idiom, in concert with the natural environment. Participants will also assist in removing trash along the way as an act of reciprocity to this important natural space.
