Join us for an evening of film, performance, and conversation prompted by the film The Unveiling of God / a love letter to my forefathers, on view now in The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century.

The Unveiling of God is an operatic visual poem that celebrates the Black men in the artists’ lives. Hear from the film’s creators: poet and educator Nia June, cinematographer Kirby Griffin, and poet and music producer APoetNamedNate, in conversation with womanist and cultural worker Sharayna Christmas. The film will be accompanied by a live musical overlay by trumpeter Brandon Woody and pianist Troy Long.

Following the conversation, explore What the Trees Have Seen and enjoy a reception.

Join us on a trip to see iconic examples of modern and contemporary art at Glenstone and The Kreeger Museum.
