UPCOMING
Legacy is a Living Force
Legacy is not static—it’s a living force breathing through us, shaping the world we create. This March, we dedicate our time to honoring the artists, thinkers, and visionaries who have transitioned yet continue to guide us—Faith Ringgold, Lorraine O’Grady, Judith Jamison, and Nikki Giovanni. Through film screenings, workshops, discussions, and communal gatherings, we celebrate their brilliance and let their work sustain our creativity in the face of our present reality. We hope that you join us this month in communion.
Black Visionaries: Weeksville Then and Now
With great pride, we present the visionary work of Nona Hendryx, acclaimed as Weeksville’s 2025 Artist in Residence, and the esteemed Dream Machine Studio team, as they unveil the remarkable mural, “Black Visionaries: Weeksville Then and Now.”
“Black Visionaries: Weeksville Then and Now” stands as a transformative music-infused, mixed-reality masterpiece. It intricately weaves together themes such as Weeksville’s identity as an oasis, a beacon of Black self-determination, a hub of creativity, and a symbol of profound connection to the land.
Through the amalgamation of archival imagery, storytelling, music, and the voices of our community today, this mural pays homage to the unsung heroes who have shaped Weeksville’s extraordinary legacy.
Let us consider the resilient spirit of Weeksville, bringing us together to honor its legacy, and inspires thoughtful reflection and unity toward a more just world. Opening at our 3rd annual benefit on May 1, 2025.
