Assembly follows internationally acclaimed artist Rashaad Newsome as he embarks on his most ambitious project yet—a multimedia exhibition and performance at New York’s historic Park Avenue Armory. Once a bastion of white military power, the Armory is transformed into a vibrant celebration of Black and queer culture through video projections, holograms, sculptures, collages, music, dance, and African fractal patterns. This reimagining challenges colonial power structures while honoring the complexity and resilience of Black experience.
This event features the pre-feature short, Denim.
Vibrant and fresh, Denim, is a genre blending, hybrid, fantastical doc series of short stories illuminating queer people of color and LGBTQIA+ creatives in entertainment, fashion, beauty, music, film, performance, design, and visual arts.
