Notch Theatre Company (New York, NY) and Delta Cultural Center (Helena, AR) partnered on the first residency for Remember2019, an ensemble project created to reflect on and respond to the history of lynching in America. In a series of six artistic residencies over the next six years, Black cultural workers in the Arkansas Delta will create performances around topics of self-determination, memory, and reflection as related to the mass lynching of 1919. Titled Black 'n da Blues, the residency gathered local blues musicians to collect stories and create performance around the question: where’s hope in the Blues?
