Reflection Session #7: Judgment

Reflection Session #7: Judgment

Special Guest: Heather Raffo

Tuesday, March 9, 2021

6-7:30pm Central / 7-8:30pm Eastern

Our March episode features the nationally and internationally acclaimed Iraqi American playwright and actress, Heather Raffo. Creator of award-winning plays such as 9 Parts of Desire and Noura, as well as librettist for the first opera about the Iraq war Fallujah, Heather Raffo's work is beacon of light in the post-9/11 era that illuminates not only stories of surviving war, but also the resilience and excellence of Arab American theatre in the 21st century. As we approach the anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, this episode will feature Heather Raffo's work, as well as the poem titled "Judgment" from the #11Reflections series. Join us for a deeply meaningful and creative conversation with one of the most extraordinary theatre artists of our time. 

This event is part of a year-long series of Reflection Sessions held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Launched in September 2020 by Art2Action and the Carver Community Cultural Center,  this series will continue through the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 later  this year, in conjunction with our 2021 community-engaged theatre  project "Eleven Reflections on the Nation: San Antonio." These online  sessions are live, interactive, art-based, participatory events  reflecting on our nation in the post-9/11 era. Each session is grounded  in a performance excerpt from Eleven Reflections on September, by Andrea Assaf, with guest artists, creative prompts, and facilitated dialogue.
