Imani Uzuri: Conjure Woman Join us for a special performance of award-winning vocalist and composer Imani Uzuri’s immersive work Conjure Woman. An exploration and celebration of the African American archetype of the “conjure woman”, Uzuri’s solo, ritual performance will draw you in as the audience is invited to help create a space of healing and joy.

Imani Uzuri: Conjure Woman explores and celebrates the archetype, iconography, and mythology of the conjure woman within African American culture, religion, and literature. Scholar Kameelah Martin writes: “A conjurer includes, but is certainly not limited to root workers, midwives, herbalists, persons born with a caul, or second sight, and others gifted with verbal or visual communication with the spirit world. The term conjure woman then, works as an umbrella term for the various forms of healing and spiritual practices with expressly African derivations.” For this intimate healing gathering, the audience will be invited to help Uzuri create a joyous communal tonal meditation as a sonic elixir for ourselves and for our world in a time of need.
