Context & Conversation: "Who's There?" Co-Presented with Providence Public Library


*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 12/16/2019
Context & Conversation brings together scholars, artists, and community practitioners to discuss the themes and ideas found on stage at Trinity, and to consider where we find those themes and ideas at work in our own community. The conversations are moderated by Christina Bevilacqua, Providence Public Library’s Programs & Exhibitions Director and Trinity Rep’s Conversationalist-in-Residence, and each takes place in a community setting related to the themes of the play.

Context & Conversation: “Who’s There?”

Co-presented with Providence Public Library

Community Partner: Sophia Academy

Inspired by Tanya Saracho’s Fade

At every encounter with a new person we are looking for cues to tell us who’s there. How do we analyze features, clothing, build, coloring, accent, mannerisms – and what assumptions do we make from those? And is the other person focused on the same cues when meeting us? Do they interpret what they see as we would?  Can they see past what we want to present to what we hope no one might notice? Can either of us trust our judgement? Or do first impressions always tell us more about ourselves than the other person? Join artist Josephine Devanbu of “Look At Art. Get Paid.” and others for a conversation about learning to doubt our eyes and ears, if only momentarily, in order to better see and hear the world around us.
