Monday, February 17, 2025 - Monday, February 24, 2025; The Scribe Video Center, Philadelphia, PA
In this week-long celebration of Tahj’s body of work, a series of videotapes derived from the artist’s archive from the 1990s, his first feature documentary film Vintage: Families of Value, as well as the PBS broadcast documentary series Family Pictures USA will all be screened at Scribe Video Center. Through this showcase, an homage is paid to the dynamic benevolence that is Black and queer identity. “A Queer Black Body” honors influences across the diaspora as well as place and cultural spaces, leaders, and artists that have, in some way shape or form, led us to come together presently at The Scribe Video Center in Philadelphia. Director Thomas Allen Harris is expected to be joined by Cass Arrington, Darah Gaines Martin, and Donald Perry for post-screening discussions on Thursday and Friday. Conversations will be moderated by special guest programmer Denise A. Greene. Find Registration details here.
