Conversation: Ikue Mori & Tomeka Reid with Larry Blumenfeld
A MacArthur Fellowship Event
Big Ears is proud to welcome nine MacArthur Fellows to the 2024 festival. Such a confluence of ‘geniuses’ provides Big Ears with the opportunity to bring them together not only for unique performances, but for unique conversations as well.
As part of our free-to-the-public series of talks and panels, Tomeka Reid and Ikue Mori, two recently minted MacArthur Fellows who have made their reputations through their dedication to excellence, exploration, and collaboration, will come together for a wide-ranging conversation moderated by journalist and music critic Larry Blumenfeld, who will also moderate a conversation between Henry Threadgill and author Brent Hayes Edwards.
