Raul Lopez, Tiana Nekkia McClodden, Kyle Abraham, and Toyin Ojih Odutola were among the guests at last night’s celebration.
Mikki Sheppard's connection to the Brooklyn Academy of Music began in 1972 when she served as the assistant to the then Associate Director, Courtney Callender. A decade later, Sheppard is recognized for producing BAM's longest-running festival, DanceAfrica, which debuted in 1982 and remains a significant part of BAM's programming today. In 2013, multidisciplinary artist Solange Knowles made her BAM debut as a headline performer at the Crossing Brooklyn Ferry festival.
Since its inception in 1861, BAM has been a vital part of Brooklyn's art scene, particularly in championing diverse artistic expressions—a feat that presents its own unique challenges within the arts generally. The honorees have notably brought to life pivotal moments in BAM’s Black and African history under one roof.
