Creative Seedlings Holiday Edition
Dinner & Dialogue
Calling all Blerds! Come in your holiday geek chic!
Inspired by Wesley Clark’s centennial installation genesis, Phillips@THEARC, in collaboration with Blerdcon founder Hilton George, and Prof. Raél Jero Salley, Founding Director of The Space for Creative Black Imagination, MICA, hosts a series of dinner and dialogues on Blerd culture. Join us for supper, music and the opportunity to be part of a growing visual archive on Blerdom in the DMV. This program is a platform for regular gatherings and engagement with ‘creative seedlings,’ a core theme of Clark’s work.
This special winter holiday session is presented in partnership with the Hurston/Wright Foundation and will feature fireside poetry with Liberated Muse, a holiday themed DJ set with DJ T5UN4M1, and warm winter treats from Jaliyaa Coffee. Supper provided by Smoke Stack’s House of BBQ.
