Soul Science Lab “The Renaissance Mixtape” Residency at Studio 9

The FreshGrass Foundation was honored to host Soul Science Lab for a residency at our Studio 9 in North Adams, MA in January 2023 for a very special collaboration project and presentation of the group’s “The Renaissance Mixtape.” Commissioned by The Apollo Theater, “The Renaissance Mixtape” is a mixed reality musical that centers ancestral remembrance to juxtapose Black History and Black Future. It follows two young artists who use music, images and choreography to reflect on compelling aspects of the Harlem Renaissance that parallel their contemporary experience.
