Saturday MARCH 20 and Sunday MARCH 21
The Apollo Theater will present the fifth bi-annual WOW (Women of the World), an international festival that elevates the voices, experiences, and truth of women spanning all ages, online from Saturday, MARCH 20 to Sunday, MARCH 21. This year's festival's theme is Black Women Transcending! and will feature two full days of panels, workshops, speakers, and performances. Participants include HBO's "Lovecraft Country" award-winning actress Aunjanue Ellis; New York Times best-selling author and co-host of CBS' "The Talk" Elaine Welteroth; poet, writer, and activist Nikki Giovanni; motivational speaker, editor, and author Harriet Cole; and political and women's rights activist Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, and many more. As part of the festival, the Apollo will feature Karen Chilton, author of "Hazel Scott: The Pioneering Journey of a Jazz Pianist," who will lead a celebration of the pioneering artist and activist Hazel Scott with special guests, Damien Sneed and Camille Thurman. WOW: Teen Summit, which will dissect gender politics and how it impacts girls and women of color international, also returns. Through performances from singer, songwriter and spoken-word artist Brianna Knight and singer Alyssa Martinez and a panel discussion moderated by reporter and producer Kay Angrum with panelists including community activists Akia S. Callum, Malaysia Freeman, and Hebh Jamal, audiences will engage in a dialogue to encourage a collective call to action. WOW will also include performances by the French-Caribbean singer/songwriter and bassist Adeline, who masterfully conjures a whole mood with a kaleidoscope of luscious ballads fused with raw-funk and a dose of neo-soul and American singer song writer Dionne Farris. The Festival will close with short films by women from around the world in speculateive fiction, sci-fi, fantasy and folklore curated by Apollo Film's ImageNation's Cocktails & Sol Cinema. WOW Apollo is presented in partnership with The WOW Foundation.
WOW Teen Summit is generously supported by BNY Mellon, Ellis L. Phillips Foundation, The Hearst Foundations, The Neuberger Berman Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and special support from public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
