For Such A Time As This in America: Angela Davis & Salamishah Tillet

1 upcoming performance in New York

At NJPAC, *For Such A Time As This in America* brings Angela Davis into conversation with writer and critic Salamishah Tillet in a live program framed by Rock/Pop-inflected performance. The evening traces how Black feminist thought moves between scholarship, protest, and the arts, and how those currents register in the present tense. For New York–area audiences, the significance is less about premiere status than proximity: Newark’s stage sits inside the region’s cultural bloodstream. One clear takeaway is the insistence that ideas have rhythms, and that rhythm can be an argument.
