UBW's Summer Leadership Institute

Urban Bush Women's 2009 Summer Leadership Institute will be held in New Orleans where UBW seeks to contribute to the city's re-building effort in partnership with local artists and activists including the 7th Ward Neighborhood Center, ArtSpot Productions, Junebug Productions, The People's Institute for Survival & Beyond, and representatives of the Tulane, Xavier, Dillard and UNO communities (Team NOLA).

The title for the Institute, Soul Deep: A New Artist for a Renewed Society, references two important American writers: Langston Hughes ("my soul has grown deep like the rivers") and W.E.B. DuBois (A New Negro for a New Society). With a focus on issues of community health, our primary purpose will be to serve as a catalyst for the renewal, sustenance and growth of the artistic and cultural organizing communities of New Orleans.
