The Time Travel Agency has been honored to receive the August Wilson Archive Artist-Scholar Grant from the University of Pittsburgh this spring!
The studio was chosen among a group of scholars, artists, and educators to receive funding to explore the archive and deliver a creation to share with the Pittsburgh community. Our framework will be to see the archive as a future place where his legacy has something to tell us in 2024-25.
We will begin work this autumn, and our piece(s) will be released in November and then throughout winter and spring 2025.
