Founded in 1978 by women leaders from African American civil rights, women's, global justice, and lesbian-feminist movements, Roadwork aims to transform consciousness and create new movements in global arts and social justice. Their coalitions across race, gender, sexual orientation, and economic class match the foundations of intersectional activism today. Performers include Alsarah, Tattiana Aqeel, Ysaye Maria Barnwell, Be Steadwell, Alexis DeVeaux, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Ariel Horowitz, Carolyn Malachi, Roya Marsh, Holly Near, Toshi Reagon and BIGLovely, Martha Redbone, Urban Bush Women, Venus Thrash, and selections from the Bernice Johnson Reagon Songbook. Their diverse blend of influences from East African retro pop and jazz to classical canon and beatboxing end the 2018 Folklife Festival and lead us into the future—the social power of music will be our theme in 2019.
