(photo courtesy of Mohammad Moussa)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Process Series: New Works in Development presents \u201cSpoken Justice,\u201d a season of provocative, powerful performances at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill exploring seminal issues of social justice, both past and present. The first performance opens Sept. 30.<\/p>\n<p>The series offers culturally diverse, multidisciplinary projects that focus on North Carolina, such as \u201cThe Black Pioneers Project\u201d (in partnership with the Southern Oral History Program), which will present important oral histories from the first African-American students at Carolina. Other performances in the series will reach beyond North Carolina, like examining Islamophobia and the plight of Syrian refugees.<\/p>\n<p>The series offers audiences an opportunity to examine the creative process, as each project allows the artists and performers to explore new ideas. Complete with audience feedback following every performance, each show is vital to the continued growth of these new works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis season focuses on questions of social justice more than any of our previous years, specifically exploring questions of race, class, gender and sexuality,\u201d said Joseph Megel, founder, artistic director and artist-in-residence in the College of Arts and Sciences\u2019 department of communication. \u201cThese issues are critically important to our state and nation, and we are proud to be presenting North Carolina-based artists who are deeply and imaginatively engaging with these challenging issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sponsors include the College of Arts and Sciences, Institute for the Arts and Humanities, UNC departments of African, African American and diaspora studies; communication; dramatic art; English and comparative literature; and music; the Center for the Study of the American South, the Southern Oral History Program, the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History and the American studies department.<\/p>\n<p>Shows are free to the public, with a suggested donation of $5 at the door.
