Rhiannon is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, MacArthur Fellowship recipient and artistic director of social-impact organization and musical ensemble, Silkroad. She wrote the music for the ballet “Black Lucy & the Bard” (aka “Lucy Negro, Redux”) and the libretto and music for her original opera, “Omar.” In October 2022, Giddens published “Build a House,” which celebrates Black history and culture in her unflinching, uplifting and gorgeously illustrated children’s picture book.

On Point host Meghna Chakrabarti moderated this conversation with Giddens at WBUR CitySpace on April 13, 2023.
