Farmers Night at the State House – Sponsored by the Friends

Author of the 2024 collection of poems, Mountain Spells, Afrofuturist/Oro-shamanic poet and bass clarinetist Toussaint St. Negritude freely conjures the lyric timbre of both his horn and verse, creating his own multi-collaborative ceremony of emancipating explorations. Black, gay, artist, mountaineer, devout congregant of the wilderness, Toussaint St. Negritude honors his multiplicity of freedoms quite seriously. Intersectionally informed by the collective realms of liberation and the corresponding spirituality evoked by our surrounding mountains, his works are inherently intoned by both the liberation and the expansion of the African Diaspora.
