About the Event
Every Friday Night in July & August, Epsilon Spires will transform our parking lot into a safe socially-distanced outdoor cinema featuring innovative film screenings & performances under the stars...
"Afrofuturism reimagines the past and envisions what can be. ... The term coined in 1993, seeks to reclaim black identity through art, culture, and political resistance. It is an intersectional lens through which to view possible futures or alternate realities." -Bolanle Austen Peters, African Arguments

We encourage our guests to come as if to a picnic – so bring your own blankets, cushions or folding chairs to sit on in your circle – you want to be comfortable so bring all the coziness you need!
