Choreographer Camille Brown visited the University of Iowa campus January 26, 2018 to deliver a lecture in the Creative Matters series co-sponsored by the UI Office of the Vice President for Research and Hancher. Below are stories, text, photos, and other materials chronicling and related to the visit.

Camille Brown, a 2016 Guggenheim Fellow, creates choreography that utilizes musical composition as storytelling in order to investigate the silent space within the measure.Informed by her background as a clarinetist, she makes a claim on history through the lens of a modern Black female perspective and leads her dancers through excavations of ancestral stories, both timeless and traditional.
