Global partnerships

Unite Globally

Harlem is our home. The world is our stage.

At Harlem Stage, we stand at the crossroads of history and possibility—rooted in Harlem’s legacy of Black excellence, resistance, and innovation, while reaching outward to build bridges with artists, leaders, and institutions of color across the globe.

In an era defined by globalization, we believe that cultural exchange is not just an opportunity—it is a responsibility. As borders blur and technologies collapse distance, our shared struggles and triumphs are more interconnected than ever. From Johannesburg to Kingston, São Paulo to Seoul, we see ourselves in the stories of other communities rising, creating, and leading with vision and resilience.

Our work is guided by a deep commitment to artistic solidarity, cultural sovereignty, and global dialogue. We seek to collaborate with artists and institutions who, like us, are using art as a tool for justice, identity, and transformation. Together, we imagine new models of creation, connection, and collective power—because the future of the arts is not bound by geography, but by shared purpose.

Harlem is our foundation. The world is our audience. And our mission knows no borders.
