Tuesday, June 3, 6:00 p.m. | Presented as part of the city-wide, 50th anniversary of the film MAHOGANY, this short film program explores Black aesthetics, culture, and legacy through experimental and poetic storytelling, the selections reflecting on Black iconography, fashion, interiority, and diasporic creativity. Each film offers a unique lens on how we hold memory, mark identity, and move through the world in ways that are rooted, vibrant, and visionary. With directors from Chicago and beyond, the program honors a lineage of cultural production that is both timeless and of-the-moment. Together, these films trace a tapestry of beauty, ritual, style, and presence. Programmed by Black Harvest Film Festival Curator jada-amina, and presented in collaboration with the Mahogany at 50 Committee’s Black Fashion Film Series. Learn more mahoganyat50.com.
