Monday, Mar 2, 2026

"I’m truly honored to receive support for archival research on MOXIE, a documentary exploring the legacy of The International Sweethearts of Rhythm. Accessing materials abroad helps illuminate the global presence of this groundbreaking all women’s jazz band and expand conversations around cultural diplomacy, public policy, and musical history. This work reflects the core of my practice, connecting cultural memory, storytelling, and the world we share. I’m grateful to the NYU Tisch Department of Art & Public Policy for supporting interdisciplinary research like this." - Stacey Marbrey
