"Over the last two decades, Solange has built an expansive career that knows no bounds. Under the auspices of Saint Heron - the multidisciplinary institution she started in 2013 - the Grammy-winning artist and curator has fearlessly dove into the worlds of music, choreography, design, architecture, visual art and more. Most recently, Saint Heron launched a free library in hopes of preserving rare Black and brown literature and making it accessible to others."
"Now, Solange Knowles is bringing her expertise to the USC Thornton School of Music, where she has been named the school's first all-school scholar in residence. Working across all areas of the school - whose instruction offerings include pop music, arts leadership and the music industry - Solange will also join the Dean's Creative Vanguard Program. (She's the second member to be invited to the distinguished program, following her frequent collaborator, Raphael Saadiq, who joined in December.)"
Solange Knowles will serve a custom-designed three-year residency at USC Thornton School of Music as the school's first all-school scholar in residence. She will teach a course on music curation, host student-focused workshops, and collaborate with faculty to build long-term frameworks across pop music, arts leadership and the music industry. Her multidisciplinary Saint Heron institution, founded in 2013, expanded into a free library preserving rare Black and brown literature. She has developed a broad career across music, choreography, design, architecture and visual art. She completed a GED and became a mother at 17, and views the residency as an opportunity to deepen scholarly tools and access.
