The *first* First Saturday of the year!
Saturday, February 7, 5–10 pm
In celebration of Black History Month, this edition of First Saturdays pays homage to the innovators—those fearless artists who reenvision tradition while building community along the way.
Titled after the late poet Jayne Cortez’s rallying cry to “imitate no one,” the evening is inspired by our landmark exhibition Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens, which honors this legendary Malian photographer. Tap into interwoven legacies of liberation from across the African diaspora with dynamic programming spanning music and magic to art-making, poetry, and beyond.
Always free—just be sure to register.
