MR. ADVOCATE: A FIlm Screening + Creative Session Celebrating Black Storytelling

LIMITED

Wednesday September 30, 2026 6:00pm - 8:00pm PDT

African American Art & Culture Complex

Limited Capacity seats available

A screening of the narrative film Mr. Advocate followed by a facilitated dialogue and a short creative response that celebrates Black storytelling and connects artists across the Bay Area.

Nexus Black Art Week celebrates the talent of Black artists across the Bay Area. This event puts a Black filmmaker's work on the screen and gives you room to respond to it in your own medium.

Participants watch Mr. Advocate, a narrative film made by a filmmaker who spent over ten years teaching in public schools across the United States and abroad. Then we make something - a short creative response to the film, on paper, canvas, or their own medium. They share what they made, turn and talk in pairs and as a full group, and join a facilitated dialogue about Black storytelling and the role of Black art in the Bay Area. Participants bring their own medium or use what's in the room, and respond to the film. We close with a facilitated dialogue about the role of Black art in our schools, our streets, and our history.

This is a room for artists, curators, collectors, and art lovers from both sides of the Bay. Come make something and meet the people making the Bay Area's Black art scene.

Open to artists, curators, collectors, educators, and neighbors.
