The Black Arcade:
Grief in Stereo
Jam Session #3
Advanced registration is appreciated.
Doors at 12pm
Performance at 12:30
Estimated Duration: 90 minutes
Allen Moore’s “The Black Arcade” Jam Sessions are a series of performative explorations of grieving through the sound making and visual artifacts. Building on Moore’s interest in afrofuturism and the sonic aesthetic of the black imagination, his Black Arcade sessions offer a caring and immersive soundscape that invites deep listening and creates space for personal reflection, grief, and renewal.
For Jam Session #3, Moore will experiment with how darkness, light, and color can be in conversation with sound. Guests are invited to seek comfort through stimming, moving, or finding stillness. A variety of seating options will be provided.
Moore will perform in collaboration with invited musicians. This space is open to all to listen, share love and pay tribute to loss.
