In a rare interview, solangeknowles talks with CraigSJ about bringing together a lineup of Kelela, KeiyaA, the Clark Sisters, and more at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
, you set a sort of second line on a stage that resembled a museum. It feels like you’re communicating that our art should be viewed in venerable spaces the way pieces in the Met and the Louvre are. I’m curious about your mission as a curator and whether it differs from what you’re trying to do as an artist.
The Brooklyn Academy of Music lineup is incredible, covering opera, jazz, R&B, electronic music, gospel, and so much more. What I see as a through-line is versatility of the Black voice. Talk about your hopes forThank you. It means a lot that you dig it. The Black voice is a sacred vessel. Being able to have an opportunity to honor it through all of these different conventions is just a dream job. This is such fulfilling work.
You’re also hosting a Clark Sisters concert, and I am happy to feel them in everything now and to see them getting a biopic and filtering into hip-hop via samples. But my favorite Clark Sisters album,, is, I believe, out of print. The classic records can be hard to find. What do we do about that? You have an R&B night featuring KeiyaA and Kelela, two incredible artists. What would you like the people who attend to understand about the past, present, future of the genre?
