Black Sacred Arts Conferences: Africana Sacred Healing Arts (2022)
The Yale Institute of Sacred Music is proud to present its conference on the topic of Africana Sacred Healing Arts, the first in a new series of conferences studying the Black Sacred Arts. The speakers, performers, and artists at this conference will consider how healing in African and African Diasporic religions encompasses a wide variety of rituals and practices. Focusing on diverse geographic sites in the Black Atlantic and beyond, the presentations will study how rites of healing can involve allopathic, homeopathic, and therapeutic measures that pertain to the individual as well as the collective. The presentations will share a focus on how the healing arts can include the study of material implements, sacred objects, the sensorial sphere of expressive culture, and embodied systems of knowledge.
We are currently planning to hold this conference in person at Yale on May 16-18, 2022. However, if the public-health situation at Yale worsens, we will switch the conference to an online format, and a decision regarding this will be made by March 15th.
