Join us for our second screening series, ‘Black Entanglements,’ inspired by Maya Cade's research on tenderness in Black film Tenderness is what spurs motion into movement, desire into affirmative risk, and improvisation into rhythm. For Black people, I believe, tender gestures give us the will to live, to carry on, to pursue in a world that wants otherwise or life presents other obstacles. How does tenderness – defined here as pointed moments of affection where Black possibility, transformation, and connection bloom – offer a new mode of understanding our filmic past, present, and future? —Maya Cade Black Entanglements builds on Jupiter's inaugural film series No One Is Going To Mythologize My Life (after Kathleen Collins). Here we draw from Maya Cade's research around tenderness in Black film to consider the kaleidoscopic nature of Black intimacies by traversing the resuscitative valences of sisterhood (DRYLONGSO)‚ the one night stand as its own sanctified experiment in affection (Medicine for Melancholy), queer desire as negotiated against the backdrop of a broader social, material and political matrix (Rafiki), and the enmeshment between self, spirit, and society (Atlantiques). Each screening will begin with an offering of lyrical responses and questions by Prof. AE Stevenson and Denny Mwaura for guests to consider as they watch. — July 14: DRYLONGSO by Cauleen Smith — July 28: Medicine for Melancholy by Barry Jenkins — August 11: Rafiki by Wanuri Kahiu — August 25: Atlantiques by Mati Diop Information Source: Jupiter Magazine | eventbrite
