Tireless Sacred Work: Performance and Conversation with Ezra Furman
Hybrid event
April 27, 2022 | 7:00-8:30pm | Harvard Radcliffe Institute (Knafel Center)
Free and open to public
Singer, songwriter, musician, and critic Ezra Furman—“the most compelling live act you can see right now,” according to the Guardian—will perform and open Harvard Radcliffe Institute's “Minding the Gap: Gender and the Mental Health Crisis” conference. Her anthem-ballads are simultaneously transgressive and reflective, folk and art rock.
Furman has spoken about and advocated extensively for mental health. She explores in her music themes of identity and anxiety, angst and fearlessness.
Following her performance, Furman will engage in conversation about music, gender, and mental health with discussant William Cheng, 2022–2023 Rita E. Hauser Fellow at Harvard Radcliffe Institute and professor of music at Dartmouth College.
Harvard Radcliffe Institute gratefully acknowledges the Perrin Moorhead Grayson and Bruns Grayson Dean’s Leadership Fund for Academic Ventures, which is supporting this event.
See "Minding the Gap: Gender and the Mental Health Crisis” for event information on the full-day conference on Friday, April 28, 2023.
