UNC dramatic art lecturer Kathryn Hunter-Williams and her colleague Lynden Harris have received a MAP Fund grant to support the project “Serving Life,<\/a>” which explores race, class, compassion and justice with men on death row and those sentenced as children to life without parole.<\/p>\n

The project includes a scripted performance with former prisoners; an interactive installation and accompanying readings of monologues from death row; and more.<\/p>\n

The project will be administered through Hidden Voices, <\/a>a nonprofit organization that collaborates with underrepresented communities to create award-winning works that combine narrative, mapping, performance, music, digital media, animation and interactive exhibits to engage audiences and participants in explorations of difficult issues.<\/p>\n

Harris is founder and director, and Hunter-Williams is associate director of Hidden Voices. Hunter-Williams is also a member of PlayMakers Repertory Company.<\/p>\n

The MAP Fund<\/a> announced the selection of 36 new, live performance works that will receive a total of $1.1 million in direct support for project development and premieres.\u00a0Primarily supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation<\/a>\u00a0with additional funds from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0MAP\u00a0is an affiliate program of Creative Capital<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Established in 1989, MAP is among the longest-running grant programs in arts philanthropy, having supported over 1,120 new works of performance with a total of $28 million.<\/p>\n
