Response & Recovery: An Artists’ Talk
July 23, 2023
McGuire Pavilion, G-6 Studio
3–4:30 PM
Artists and culture bearers support recovery from all kinds of disasters. They have even been called “second responders” because their art can function as a mechanism for healing, political critique, record keeping, and more. Join a group of dance and theatre makers from San Juan, New Orleans, South Florida, and Gainesville for a thoughtful discussion about their work as it connects to expansive ideas of response and recovery.
Panelists
- Rachel Carrico, UF College of the Arts (Dance)

- Choreographer Jarrell Hamilton (New Orleans, LA)
- Yari Helfeld, Pedro Iván Bonilla, and Joel Guzmán, members of the theatre collective Y No Había Luz (San Juan, Puerto Rico)
