Voza Rivers: Cultural Caretaker

Voza Rivers has been instrumental in the spread of Diasporic culture through the arts for over thirty years. The Producer of Sarafina!, which brought voices of South Africa to Broadway; Chairman of the Harlem Arts Alliance; Co-Founder and Executive Producer of the IMPACT Repertory Theatre, and heavily involved in many other organizations dedicated to black culture, Voza joined filmmaker Thomas Allen Harris and the Digital Diaspora Family Reunion at the Harlem Stage to share with us photographs from his personal history.

Over the years Rivers has been behind the scenes producing and co-producing everything from theatre, to live concerts, and documentary film while remaining at the forefront of empowering the community through performing arts.

Here he takes the opportunity to pay respects to his mentors as we learn about how and why Rivers has been able to craft a career that has brought him from South Africa, to Japan, and even to a grammy nomination.
