BLACK CINEMA: "Assembly"

In the organizer's words:

The documentary accompanies internationally renowned artist Rashaad Newsome on his most ambitious project to date - a multimedia exhibition and performance at the historic Park Avenue Armory in New York. Once a bastion of white military power, the Armory is transformed into a vibrant celebration of black and queer culture through video projections, holograms, sculptures, collages, music, dance and African fractal patterns. This reimagining challenges colonial power structures while honoring the complexity and resilience of the black experience. (Newsome & Symons, US 2025)

We are showing the film in the original language in English.

Film series on the occasion of Black History Month 2026. For the third year in a row, the Ost-Passage Theater invites Black cultural practitioners to curate their own film program. Over four evenings, the focus will be on the diversity and stories of Black film. Together, viewers are invited to discover Black cinema or find themselves in it.

ATTENTION: The events for Black History Month may exclude: colonial reproduction, cultural appropriation, racism, sexism, trans hostility, queer hostility or other forms of discrimination. More information on this in the awareness concept.
