Held in conjunction with the exhibit of the same name at chashama 461, 461 West 126th Street in Harlem, NYC.
This production connects two legendary New York communities of the African Diaspora for a remembrance of Juneteenth [the last day of legalized slavery in the US] and its cultural legacy. By engaging the hosting communities of Jamaica and Harlem, we will expand the understanding of various culturally affirming perspectives of their different yet intertwining histories. Our multigenerational program will be entertaining as well as informative.

This will be an entertaining and educational video mastermix of documentaries spanning the history of the African Diaspora in the United States. Compiled and edited by veteran experimental video artist Darryl Hell.
- 4pm to 6:30p: Live Art exhibition in the lobby & lounge

The mixed media exhibition will feature; Reconstruct Art, Darryl Hell, "Ride: The Lifestyle of Urban Motorcycling", Lawrence Joyner, Purpose Lounge, Progressive Unlimited, and the Allen-Stevenson Prep School for Boys. We will also be serving free food and drinks during this segment of the event.
