Barnard College Library

On October 3rd the Weaving Dreams Exhibition opened in the Milstein Center for Teaching and Learning. The opening featured a live excerpt performance of PURPLE by Sydnie L. Mosley Dances, which celebrated Mosley’s longtime collaboration with textile artist and scholar Dr. Kim F Hall, part of the PURPLE “universe.” Along with a vibrant collective of dancers, director and choreographer Sydnie L. Mosley BC’ 07, and associate director Amy Shoshana Blumberg BC ‘09 led an interactive experience that showcased oral storytelling, embodiment and audience participation. The exhibition opening was enjoyed by 70+ attendees.

Seeded and nurtured by her time studying with both Professor Hall and legendary poet/choreographer Notzake Shange ‘70, Mosley’s work cultivates joy in community spaces, upholds traditions of sisterhood, and centers “elders as royalty.”

The performance was followed by a Q&A with artist Kim F. Hall, performer Dyane Harvey, and associate director Amy Shoshana Blumberg.

The main doors to the library will be closed all day tomorrow (10/3) in preparation for the evening's (6pm) Weaving Dreams Exhibition Opening 💕.

Please use the elevators 🛗 or stairwell to access the library📚.
