Jabari Dreams of Freedom: Screening and Artist Talk
from Shawn ChoiTen-year-old Jabari loves to paint. With his Forever President Barack Obama as a guide, Jabari escapes the violent reality of an encounter with the police through his colorful paintings where he meets children from the past who teach him how to be fearless.
When he meets his hero, Barack Obama, as a 6-year-old boy on the eve of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., will Jabari be able to instill in young Barack the lessons he’s learned and ensure that he will have the necessary tools to become president?
Will he learn to take these lessons back into his own life and heal his community?
Jabari Dreams of Freedom is a 45-minute dream, a piece for ages 8 and up, using rap, freedom songs, hip hop dance, history, and humor to tell the story of a young Black boy from the South Side of Chicago who is afraid to leave the house, but learns to dream of freedom.
