The BACKSTAGE Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Series:
Creatives in Conversation: Anti-Black Racism in Casting
As part of a new series of roundtable conversations centering on inclusion and diversity in the entertainment industry, Backstage is proud to present “Creatives in Conversation: Anti-Black Racism in Casting.”
Backstage is sponsoring this conversation in collaboration with CASTING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY (C4A), NY BLACK CASTING ALLIANCE (NYBCA), and CASTING SOCIETY OF AMERICA (CSA).
This two-hour panel will delve into the experiences of Black actors, creatives, and casting professionals as they discuss how anti-Black racism has impacted their lives and careers. Facilitated by Ianne Fields Stewart, the panelists will also address changes that must be made in order to create safe and bold workspaces for Black creatives. The discussion will end with a Q+A portion.
Although this event will be open to all, we are encouraging people to make space for the Black members of our community to be able to attend as well as to create a safe space for all of us to talk freely and openly.
