MOVING MASCULINITY
FROM DIGITAL VILLAGE TO PUBLIC ENCOUNTER
global screenings & facilitated dialogue
MOVING MASCULINITY PUBLIC ENCOUNTER is an invitation.
From digital village to public encounter, through screenings & facilitated dialogue. The screening is a one-hour narrated film on memory, masculinity, race and emotional inheritance featuring Black men ages 16 – 60 naming, exploring and journeying through tenderness and turmoil, loneliness and love, loss and power, grief, rage and shame, becoming, joy and brotherhood.
It is the digital village brought to life as a shared public experience via public rollouts. The post-screening dialogue explores and engages the film’s themes with facilitators and the audience. More than a film, it is an invitation for in-person gathering, connection and community.
Engage THE PUBLIC ENCOUNTER. Step into the GLOBAL LAB.
