The Black Gotham Experience @blackgotham team is thrilled to have four Brooklyn-based projects lined up for the winter and spring of 2019.

When we found out it was happening today, we decided to postpone Nerdy Thursday until next week May 10th. Shout out to all the runners. Enjoy the relay.

Here’s a clip of @amabefree’s performance art piece last night at @blackgotham’s #BGXNerdyThursdays. Using roses and water from the same river that brought Ghanaians to NYC in the 1700s, she created a profound experience that I’m sure none of us will forget.
