JOIN US TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH
NSCC FILM SCREENINGS: In the first film screening we take a look at some of the visual artists of the Harlem Renaissance in Against the Odds: The Artists of the Harlem Renaissance (Run time 60 mins.). Black artists struggle to have their art taken seriously by the white gatekeepers of the art world. Zora Neale Hurston: Jump at the Sun (Run time 84 mins.) is a documentary about one of America's widely-published novelists and one of black America's notable scholars known as the "Queen of the Harlem Renaissance".
Please join North Seattle Community College's Multimedia Digital Arts Club in honoring achievement in African-American History and US History with a double bill screening on Friday, February 22, 2013 4:30pm-7:00pm at the Baxter Event Center/NSCC campus, of important artists and innovators during the Harlem
Renaissance.
The Harlem Renaissance is one of the most influential, ambitious and
intellectually recognized famous cultural movements in America spanning the 1920's and early 30's. Harlem, a leading African-American neighborhood and cultural center in New York City was home to a flourishing period of expression by African-Americans in the arts, literature, film, politics, economics and music.
In the 1920's Harlem was euphemistically referred to as the "capital of Black America". Harlem was the cornerstone of black culture because of a proliferation of freethinkers and creative individuals who settled in the area to work and produce great works of imagination and purpose. Harlem was the epicenter of some of the best and brightest minds of the 20th Century. Join Us to relive the history of this wonderful period in time.
