Black Visionaries: Visionary Frequencies of Technology, Creativity, and Black Futures
You’re invited to Black Visionaries: Visionary Frequencies of Technology, Creativity, and Black Futures, a special activation of our commissioned augmented reality mural, Black Visionaries, by Nona Hendryx and Dream Machine Studio.
The legendary Nona Hendryx will host the evening, featuring a dynamic lineup of guests and collaborators, including Craig Harris, LaFrae Sci, Carl Hancock Rux, For The People, Maya Georgieva, and Sam Mejias. Together, they’ll lead a night of sonic and communal exploration rooted in Weeksville’s five foundational pillars: Oasis, Self-Determination, Creativity, Stewardship, and Land.
