Transformative Inspirations Workshop

Facilitated by Mercedes Loving Manley

Through studying the works of 3 filmmakers, we will learn the role of community and storytelling for Black Queer and Trans people. With a close look at themes, techniques, and traditions utilized by directors Anne Lescot, Laurence Magloire, Marlon Riggs, and Baillie Walsh, we will be able to explore the power of community globally and nationally.

June 2 | Part Three: Inspirations Applied

Participants will share their original creations along with the artist(s) who served as inspirations for said work. This will give us all a chance to not only share techniques and themes but also learn the works of folks we may not be familiar with.

The Ujima Arts & Cultural Organizing Team meets every 1st Wednesday of the month. Join us! 

Through participation in our Arts and Cultural Organizing member-led group, local community members will have an opportunity to maximize their creative potential through a quarterly learning rotation and self-determined syllabus that will invite creative community members, artists, and scholars to present their work, inspirations, and technical skills to inspire creative community experimentation and artistic development within the Ujima ecosystem and beyond.
