Where:

MoMA PS1

What:

The New York-based collective BlackMass Publishing organizes a series of four monthly public events in conjunction with Greater New York. The programs are developed out of their research and collaborative publishing practice, which combines new and archival content by black artists and cultural producers, often taking an improvisational approach. This series of events offer a view into the collective’s cross-disciplinary practice of publishing and community building.

BlackMass has invited the Afrikan Poetry Theatre to host a program focused on the storied and inspirational history as a center and generator for art, music, education, and community located in Jamaica, Queens.
