When We Free the World Screening

Join us for a screening of “When We Free the World,” in honor of Father’s Day, Juneteenth, Pride, and Men’s Health Month.

"In a time when gender, sexuality, and race are in the crosshairs of so much of our public discourse, Judson is honored to host Kevin Powell and When We Free the World to add a vibrant layer to our conversations about the many types of masculinities and how we manifest the future we all need." — Rev. Micah Bucey

BaroQUEER

The iconoclastic Brooklyn collective ChamberQUEER teams up with Grammy-winning Boston institution the Handel and Haydn Society for BaroQUEER: Historically Informed, presented by Carnegie Hall Citywide. Co-curated by superstar countertenor Reginald Mobley and CQ cofounders Brian Mummert and Jules Biber, this concert asks: "whose histories inform the way we play and perceive Baroque music, and what would it mean to center performers’ voices and stories?" Featuring music by composers ranging from George Frideric Handel and Jean-Baptiste Lully to Julius Eastman and Caroline Shaw, the program celebrates queer perspectives that have shaped the early-music revival and influenced generations of boundary-breaking artists.

BLACK AESTHETICS: DARK OXYGEN

BLACK AESTHETICS: DARK OXYGEN

dArK oXyGen is a sonic dance exploring the spiritual connection between Blackness as a space of breathlessness and the recent discovery of oxygen production in the deep ocean without sunlight or photosynthesis. The public is invited into a dance installation that conjures breathlessness as spiritual awakening. Can we catch our breath and catch the spirit collectively in these trying times? Movement into shadows that speak and ghosts that dance fill the air. The ocean is the lungs of the earth. What would happen if the ocean couldn't breathe? What happens when the ocean whispers my ancestors names?
