Join us for a powerful night that celebrates Black creativity, history, and expression. Kick off the evening by connecting in the vibrant gallery and MMT Lobby during our Mix n’ Mingle, which will feature a dynamic presentation on photography and Black History by The Vanta Guild, a Black photographer’s collective co-founded by MMT Artistic Director Jonathan Pitts-Wiley and led by culture worker and curator Dr. Melaine Ferdinand-King.

Cap the night with “That Freedom Feeling”, a soul-stirring performance culminating in a moving 15-minute preview performance of “From Free to Freedom” — a visceral experience of what it means to rise, reclaim, and rejoice.

RISE TO BLACK isn’t just an event. It’s a movement. Come feel the freedom.

THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
