Exploring Black Joy and Healing Through Art: A Conversation with Tina Canady

About the guest

Tina is a genderful interdisciplinary artist working in theatre and film. Their work often asks us to challenge our perception of Black history and embrace Black joy as a pivotal tool in the disruption of white supremacy. They’re constantly inspired by the resilience of Black queer people and my hometown of Baltimore, MD. Tina currently serves as an ensemble member and the Director of Artistic and Community Partnerships at Single Carrot Theatre. As well as a core creator for Submersive Productions. Their film Breathing Black, a documentary that follows nine Black Baltimoreans as they find joy amidst the global COVID-19 Pandemic and a summer of reckoning with the continued genocide of the Black body is an official selection of the Columbia film festival and the Indianapolis Black Documentary film festival.
