    Join us for the @yale virtual panel series on “The Artistic & Global Legacy of Michael Jackson,” featuring renowned collaborators Vincent Paterson (@vlpla), Brad Sundberg (@inthestudiowithmj), Eddie Garcia (@campmedance), and Dr. Yamuna Sangarasivam.

    What does it take to shape a global culture through art? You’ve seen their work from “Thriller” to “Smooth Criminal” and “Black or White” and more—iconic projects that helped shape the music video industry and pop entertainment as we know it today.

    Each conversation will begin with an inside look on working with @michaeljackson, followed by discussions on artistic creativity and philosophy as well as the King of Pop’s legacy in and beyond music, extending to dance, cinema, and humanitarianism.

    Schedule:
    • Panel 1 – Monday, April 13, 8-9:30pm (EDT)
    • Panel 2 – Tuesday, April 14, 8-9:30pm (EDT)
