Writer to Writer is a series featuring conversations between BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) writers.

Join playwrights and screenwriters Carlyle Brown and David Grant in a conversation about how they see Black artists in theater and film doing powerful and necessary work that responds to our current socio-political moment – not just here, but around the world. What do they see going on around us that takes them to a dark and pessimistic place? Conversely, what do they see that gives them hope? How is their own work responding to the world as they see it at this moment? What personal passion project is closest to their hearts right now, and why?

Collaborator: More Than a Single Story. This program is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Carlyle Brown is a playwright/performer, curator and artistic director of Carlyle Brown & Company based in Minneapolis.

David Grant has written plays for the Science Museum of Minnesota, Minnesota Historical Society, Mixed Blood Theatre, VocalEssence and the History Theatre.
