Coleman's book, Change: The New Thing and Modern Jazz, published by Oxford University Press in September 2025, is a stylistic genealogy of the twentieth-century abstract music now referred to as free jazz, or jazz's new thing as it was known in the early 1960s. In it he makes connections between how and why artists created this work, its cultural significances, and its complicated reception in the music press of the 1960s and provides readers with ways to listen to and understand this innovative and disruptive music. At Gallatin, Coleman teaches courses on American music history, music aesthetics, music and sound-based improvisation, and Black Music. He has, as a composer, premiered commissioned work for the Studio Museum of Harlem, Maysles Documentary Center, and the March on Washington Film Festival and continues to perform internationally.

When my mom asked me to pick an after-school activity so she could enroll me, she was expecting something that matched my wild energy. To both our surprise, I said,… ballet. It started as a way to escape the chaos of home life, but it quickly became my sanctuary. It was love at first plié! The music, the discipline, and the routine of the classes gave me a sense of peace and accomplishment, even when life felt uncertain. Yet, little did I know ballet would soon challenge me in ways I had not anticipated—emotionally, financially, and culturally. Growing up in ballet, I was often the only Black dancer in the room or one of the few, facing racial discrimination. For dancers like me, the struggle goes beyond perfecting pirouettes. It is about challenging a system not designed for us—where our skin color, body shape, and even the texture of our hair are seen as obstacles rather than assets. With its deep Eurocentric roots, ballet left little room for dancers who did not fit its rigid aesthetic. From being typecast into roles that fit stereotypes to struggling with ballet programs that refuse to provide skin-tone tights and pointe shoes for darker dancers, the message was clear: we did not fully belong. But we do. While Black ballerinas have gained more visibility in recent years, Afro-Latina dancers remain largely invisible, caught between two identities often overlooked in ballet. However, Afro-Latina ballet dancers are reclaiming space, rewriting narratives, and proving that ballet is for everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/7be33782-62a0-4e6a-bdc9-80e7785a69ac/Luz+adult+dancer.JPG Pensamientos Blog - Ballet Belongs to All of Us - Make it stand out Luz M.

She is a multidisciplinary performer, self-taught photographer, and video artist. She identifies as a queer woman, Afro-descendant, worker in the art and cultural-community gestora. “I have lived in 11 cities, 7 countries, and 35 houses, which means that I have almost as many moves in my body than years in the world, and it is precisely these relocations that mark one of the most prominent thematic lines in my work: migration." In 2013, she started the project Mezcolanza, through which she has developed research laboratories, residencies, and alternative art events such as the Taller de Performance en Puerto Rico, Festival Mezcolanza, and Plataforma Eje.

Workshop participants are introduced to the identity of AfroLatinidad by discussing issues of visibility and anti-blackness within the Latin@ community including ways in which these matters can be overcome. The workshop further challenges participants to rethink their understanding of AfroLatinidad and Latinidad as a whole by asking them to embrace a more diverse understanding that includes and centers Blackness as an expression of Latin@ identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/1655240106194-6GSCOPG2O5ICMTO12KKL/Juntos%2BColorful%2BLogo.jpg Understanding AfroLatinidad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/1655007143003-U6X1S0HIAFWPMTJSIUQB/latinos%2Bat%2Bamazon.jpg Understanding AfroLatinidad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/1655007130617-ODNWISK7SQS0AWKAR900/download.jpg Understanding AfroLatinidad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/1655007463925-LSWEJEIIU6X760ZKJ8F7/919913_568897619799205_1309370129_o.jpg Understanding AfroLatinidad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/1655007116771-UY4QNRJYLT2MFKQD3L47/ARHE-NW-Montclairstate.jpg Understanding AfroLatinidad https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/1655007194485-G0J5H4S318ZLHURU07V9/pef-logo.jpg Understanding AfroLatinidad https://www.afrolatinoforum.org/juan-flores-obituary daily 0.75 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Juan Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Juan Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Juan Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Juan Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Juan Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg Juan Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847743861-GWVMBPD7Z7WQRQL9IZZ8/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Juan Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/4779563e-2a76-4b08-a5ac-9d198a9aacdf/cm102314alopener061.jpg Juan Flores An older man with glasses and a mustache giving a speech at a podium, holding a microphone in his right hand, in front of a projected presentation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/3c7eeaf7-c7eb-4153-a8d0-cf8eb9bb5e09/cm102314alopener059.jpg Juan Flores A man with glasses, gray hair, and a gray beard speaking at a podium with a microphone, in front of a blurred background with text. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/ff5d9064-4397-4c4e-9778-c9b7117f61bb/JFlores.jpg Juan Flores A middle-aged man with glasses and a beard speaking into a microphone at a panel or event, with a purple banner in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61008a03f01f7724ffbb7ea4/484ead07-6fb0-43c5-8603-86b100908daa/Scan+3.jpeg Juan Flores A black and white photo of a man and woman outdoors, smiling at each other.
