red, black & GREEN: a blues(rbGb) is a moving hybrid work that brings the stories and voices of Black America into the center of a timely conversation about race, class, culture and the environment. Award-winning performance artist, educator and essayist Marc Bamuthi Joseph uses his work to create opportunities to engage the local community and stimulate social change. He joins us, along with Dr. Victor Garcia, founding director of Trauma Services of Children’s Hospital and founder of CoreChange, to discuss rbGb and the power of art to create positive change in a community.
