Searching for Bengali Harlem
Friday, February 16, 2024 at 7:00 PM
As a teenager in 1980s Harlem, Alaudin Ullah was swept up in the revolutionary energy of hip-hop.

Now an actor and playwright facing the Islamophobia of post-9/11 Hollywood, Alaudin wants to tell his parents' stories

Vivek Bald is a scholar, writer, and documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on histories of migration and diaspora, particularly from the South Asian subcontinent.

February 3, 2024 7:00-11:00PM Flora & Fauna: A Celebration of Afro History Month

 

Tickets $20 online, $25 at the door.
FLORA & FAUNA Is a multicultural immersive experience that combines music, art, spoken word, and sound healing to celebrate Afro History Month. This exhibition is a sociological commentary on Afro Empowerment, Social Justice, women’s empowerment, and worldly happenings in the Afro Communities. The title “Flora and Fauna’ refers to the nature of perceiving humans as plants & animals and the unique beauties they offer to the world through their talents when they bloom. We will have food, music, live model painting, Adinkra tattoos, and vendors with art, jewelry, skincare, and sundries.

Overall, the ‘Flora & Fauna’ exhibition invites the viewer on an introspective & celebratory journey of their life sequences and asks them to consider a more conscious connection to the self, plants, animals, and the world they live in.

The term ‘Afro’ as used in Flora & Fauna is an umbrella term coined by African Artist & Curator UNAPXLXGETIC as a means to unite people of all African descendants who are scattered around the globe due to the African diaspora. This is not a term used as a replacement for ‘Blacks’ but a uniting term that pays homage to the African Culture and Heritage that we all share… Feel free to reach out to UNAPXLXGETIC directly to learn more www.unadesign.co/contact
