Talking Race

Artist

Alastair Moock + Reggie Harris

Grades

4-12

Format

Workshop

In this small group follow-up to "Race and Song: A Musical Conversation," Alastair Moock, Reggie Harris, and other artists from our roster engage students in an intimate exchange about what it means to really see and hear each other. Working with teachers and administrators, we tailor these programs to address specific issues of focus or concern in any given school.


In the Greater Boston area, Alastair often teams up in this work with Aiyana Spencer-Lakes, a former participant of METCO (Boston's historical, voluntary school integration program) and founder of MetaFold, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting students and families in the program. Aiyana and Alastair developed a close bond working together for several years as steering committee members of the Melrose Racial Justice Community Coalition, where they discovered unique ways to talk together with interracial groups of students and community members about racial dynamics in schools.
