23/24 Season Artists-in-Residence:
Negro Ensemble Company & Rennie Harris Puremovement

In the 23/24 season, we continue our artist residencies with an urgent focus on gun violence. Philadelphia has experienced historic increases in gun-related crime, claiming an unprecedented number of lives and bringing immeasurable pain and trauma to our communities. This endemic issue affects us all, but disproportionally impacts urban neighborhoods and people of color. In the 23/24 season, we explore gun violence and its aftermath through a range of programs and perspectives, all concluding with Toll the Bell, a city-wide sound installation of simultaneous and sustained bell ringing that honors the victims of gun violence and raises critical awareness for common-sense gun reform.
