Terri Lyne Carrington: Jazz Without Patriarchy Project | Creative Capital Project
Learn more about Jazz Without Patriarchy Project, by artist Terri Lyne Carrington, Creative Capital Grantee 2023.
Conceived by and featuring the compositional, visual, and performance work of Terri Lyne Carrington (Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice), and presented by the Carr Center, the Jazz Without Patriarchy Project examines jazz and gender through four different areas to be featured in a traveling exhibit: 1) Uncovering present and historical narratives of unseen emotional and mental invisible labor non-male artists engage in daily, from the studio, to the road, and at home; 2) a new work imagining a conversation between seminal pianists Geri Allen and Mary Lou Williams that connects their legacies of virtuosity and unparalleled vision in music; 3) a book of compositions by 101 woman jazz composers (and an accompanying album and film) that redefines jazz “standards” through expanding the (male-dominated) canon; and 4) reimagining what it means to experience jazz iconography and culture as seen through the female and nonbinary gaze. Each area features contributions from visual artists such as Carrie Mae Weems and Monica Haslip, musicians (including Nicole Mitchell, Cécile McLorin Salvant, and Lizz Wright), and scholars (Angela Davis, Farah Jasmine Griffin, and others). The exhibition also partners with local schools, artists, and performance venues to extend the JWPP experience to the greater communities of each city it visits, beginning with Detroit. The project aims to center the work of woman and nonbinary musicians in order to generate discourse and engagement around the ways jazz culture can be transformed to further reflect true gender justice.
