"We encourage our students to immerse themselves in experiences in the community that allow them to think of others and to give of themselves.”

The group Nomadic Voices, founded by Utica College senior Tabo Bo, hosts young singers, rappers, poets, musicians, dancers and more at Nomadic Voice’s latest pop-up placemaking event Saturday, Nov. 6, from 2 to 5 p.m., Kemble Park in Utica.

The event had to be postponed from early October due to inclement weather. The rain date for the event will be Sunday, Nov. 7 at the same time. 

Supported by Utica College’s Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion & Student Transitions, the Cultural Showcase event will feature local talent in a positive environment and will also provide an opportunity for area students to have a diverse experience in the heart of the city. Participants can take in free entertainment, enjoy the park, and visit cultural food vendors. 

Popular performers such as rapper Leeky XIV and R&B singer Nazzy Deloach will be taking part, along with others who have just begun to perform. 

Utica College senior Tabo Bo, creative director and founder of Nomadic Voices, shares, “This will be our largest event to date, and we will be showcasing some amazing local talent. I’m excited to connect the College community with the Cornhill community and give young performers a platform to shine.”

Dr. Anthony M. Baird, vice president for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion & Student Transitions/Chief Diversity Officer at Utica College adds, “Utica College has been a leading pillar of the greater Utica Community. Under the leadership of President Laura Casamento, we are committed to demonstrating servant leadership, civic, and community engagement.  We encourage our students to immerse themselves in experiences in the community that allow them to think of others and to give of themselves.”

“This event is directed and produced for the people by the people, under the leadership of one of our very own students at Utica College, Tabo Bo. We are proud of everyone who helped to bring Tabo’s vision to fruition, from submission of the grant proposal in 2020 to the November 6, 2021 launch.  When COVID struck and threatened the time of the grant and execution, Tabo came back to the DEI Collaborative and asked for an extension of the grant funds. We obliged and here we are today, as we look forward to a wonderful event. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team came together to help Tabo make his vision a reality.  This event is for the people and for the culture of Utica College and the greater Utica community,” Baird said.

Kemble Park is located between Oneida, James and Kemble streets. Street parking is available. The event is free and open to the public.
