In a year defined by great turmoil and deep sorrow, when all forms of symbolic and actual distance, division, and isolation overwhelmed our daily lives and our world, how did we make space for meaningful creativity, connection, and collaboration? Curator, Grace Aneiza Ali, will moderate a panel conversation with the artist pairs participating in Encounters, an exhibition presented by the South Asian Womxn's Creative Collective.

Immanuel Wilkins is a Saxophonist, Composer, Arranger, and Bandleader from the greater Philadelphia-area. Being a bandleader and having a working group for over four years has allowed Immanuel to grow both as a composer and arranger. Ultimately, Immanuel’s mission is to create a sound that has a profound spiritual and emotional impact which will allow him to become a great leader in the long lineage of jazz musicians. Through studying the human pathos of the music and the culture of jazz, Immanuel aspires to bring people together through the commonality of love and belief in this music.
