We’re proud to share some exciting news and engagements for a number of AFLCT’s Teaching Artists.
First, Khaiim Kelly, (AKA Self Suffice the RapOet), has been named Hartford’s first-ever troubador! According to city commissioner of cultural affairs Richard Hollant, “On top of having tremendous talent, with a lyrical spirit that’s so far advanced and sophisticated, [Kelly] also has this generous spirit where everything that we’ve witnessed doing is in the spirit of community and in lifting up other performers and writers and poets.”
To learn more, check out this article in the Hartford Courant. You can also find out more about Khaiim’s programs with Arts for Learning CT here.
Second, we’re excited to share that a number of AFLCT Teaching Artists will be involved in the Bridgeport Art Trail, happening November 11 – 14. You can find the work of Aisha Nailah, Roxy Savage, and Alicia Cobb throughout the event. More information on their work below.
Congratulations to these artists—and keep an eye out for more exciting work from them and their colleagues in the future!
