The Essentials at The Cultch

Khari Wendell McClelland returns to The Cultch stage, joined virtually by local and international musicians, scholars, and poets in a multidisciplinary performance exploring the question: What is essential and needed in these times?

This is a unique moment in time, perhaps it is a reckoning. As we are facing unprecedented societal, environmental, and public health challenges many are asking themselves:

How did we get here?
Who do we want to be?
And where does art belong amidst this evolution of the world?

Creativity has a unique place in meeting the challenges we face and the solutions we seek. It has been a source of power and resilience in the face of unimaginable odds.
