Grasping At The Roots: Documentary Screening and Panel Conversation
Last year, the Climate Justice Alliance Black Caucus filmed its first documentary, highlighting the goals, challenges, and victories of several CJA member organizations across four different cities as they adapt to the political, economic, and ecological circumstances surrounding the issue of climate change.
Join us at the Armory on Sunday, November 17th, 2024, for a screening of Grasping at the Roots, a love letter to the climate justice movement. A panel discussion featuring co-directors Keenan Rhodes and Leah Derray will follow the documentary screening. The event is free and open to everyone. RSVP appreciated.
This screening is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition From the Ground Up: Nurturing Diversity in Hostile Environments, part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide. From the Ground Up joins dozens of cultural, scientific, and community organizations for PST ART: Art & Science Collide, presented by Getty.
