IN CINEMA

COLLECTIVE ACTS OF VIDEO CARE
Sunday, March 24 at 2PM
Tickets: $15 General Admission / $7 Reduced Price 

Video can serve as an intimate and collective act of care, including an opportunity to offer testimony, bear witness, and broadcast a message. In these videos, we see makers and muses coming together to share personal stories of belonging, legacy, health, and community. At the heart of the program are the life experiences of Black women and queer people, and how they negotiate telling their stories with others, including loved ones, and eventually, an audience. 

Curated by Theodore (ted) Kerr

Screening to be followed by coffee and tea, along with a facilitated conversation with Yanni Young and Coming In Stories participants. 

***please note this event is mask-mandatory***
