This week on State of the Arts, the New Jersey Symphony's debut of Haitian-American composer, violinist and activist Daniel Bernard Roumain's Farah (Joy): ”a rumination on the black experience in America, community, things worth protesting, love and joy.”

Plus, an exploration of Philip Roth’s Newark at NJPAC, from a bus tour of landmarks that appear in his fiction, to a visit to his personal library, to readings by actors including Matthew Broderick and Peter Riegert. And, Camden Repertory Theater’s production of an underground classic by playwright Aishah Rahman.

Women's History Month

This month, we're highlighting #5WomenArtists from the State of the Arts archives.

Heather Palecek’s solargraphs are taken with simple pinhole box cameras, often made with Altoids tins. She mounts them in trees and returns to them weeks or even months later to see what her collaboration with nature has produced.
