Recap: Our 4th Annual Food Festival
Thank you, community, for joining us at our fourth annual Juneteenth Food Festival.
It was a magical day of uplifting Black food and culture in the sacred space of Weeksville that keeps us rooted to our history. We ate, we danced, we laughed and we communed in a way that only we can. Thank you for showing up, showing out, and supporting Brooklyn’s Black owned businesses.
Extending a huge thank you our partner Black-Owned Brooklyn and to all the Black businesses, artists and performers who lent their talents to the festival.
Weeksville Watch Night: Black Stories, Unbound
Weeksville Heritage Center presents Weeksville Watch Night: Black Stories, Unbound, a free evening of film and conversation.
Curated by DeShuna Elisa Spencer of the Black Indie Creatives Coalition (BICC) and kweliTV, the program brings together four short films across thriller, documentary, romance and experimental film, followed by a 30-minute fireside conversation.
Before It’s Gone: Archive to Survive – Book Launch and Panel Discussion
Weeksville Heritage Center and the Brooklyn Hi-Art! Machine (BHAM) invite you to a panel discussion and book launch for Before It’s Gone: Archive to Survive.
Artists Oasa DuVerney and Mildred Beltré created the book, which gathers two years of narratives from longtime community members who live on one block in Crown Heights. Their stories, photographs, and artworks stand together as communal testimony to the lives lived on that block, preserved before they are erased and forgotten.
Sip, Tour and Connect: K-12 Educator Open House
Weeksville Heritage Center is hosting an open house for K-12 teachers and school administrators on November 18.
The evening includes a brief presentation on Weeksville’s K-12 educational offerings, a tour of the Hunterfly Road Houses, and time to connect with Weeksville’s education team and fellow educators about bringing this history into your classroom.
