Ohio University Alumni AssociationMulticultural CenterBlack Student Cultura
l Programming Board\n \n\nRev. Dr. Jé Exodus Hooper\n\nRev. Dr. Jé Exodus H
ooper (they/them) is a theater history fellow and ethical humanist clergy.
They received a Ph.D. from the School of Interdisciplinary Arts at Ohio Uni
versity. Both as a performer and clergy at First Unitarian Society of Minne
apolis and within the Ethical Culture Movement\, their ritual-based perform
ance is grounded in the act of homiletics\, decolonial humanism and Black I
ntellectual Thought. Jé’s love for orality involves the aesthetic of Black
folk-talk — one of imagination as meaning-making. Their wordworking emphasi
zes human freedom and interconnectedness through embodiment\, intuition\, c
reativity and improvisation.\n\nTheir most recent production on the Transve
rse Streaming Network\, titled "Keep Liv’n\," expresses the importance of c
ultural care and self-care. Exemplifying a commitment to equity and inclusi
on within the arts community\, Jé enjoys working closely together to decent
er the stage and share the spotlight of all those voices that make up the b
eloved community. These kinds of transdisciplinary approaches console and a
gitate communities in re-imagining and re-claiming narratives that honor th
e inherited worth and dignity within all people — a love-work that Jé is co
mmitted to!\n\nYou will receive a link to join this event in Microsoft Team
