Film Screening: black enuf*"
With special guest Director Carrie Hawks
A queer oddball seeks approval from black peers despite a serious lack of hip-hop credentials and a family that “talks white.” The quest for undeniable acceptance of their racial identity takes Hawks from Missouri to New York and halfway around the world in the animated documentary black enuf* (22 min.). Join director Carrie Hawks for an informal discussion following the screening.

ArtReach: Session Three (Ages 6–8 10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.) (Ages 9–12 1:00–3:00 p.m.)
Symbolic Art
In her installation, the artist Firelei Baez incorporated hidden symbols from Africa, the Caribbean, and Kansas City to create a piece of art about America’s complex history. In this ArtReach workshop, participants will learn about, explore, and use symbols to create a mixed media piece of art that explores the relationship between Kansas City and other parts of the world.
Due to the popularity and high demand for ArtReach, and to be able to impact as many families as possible, registration will be limited to one workshop only per child.
Animation Workshop
Carrie Hawks, director of black enuf*, leads an informative and creative workshop on analog and digital animation for all ages. Bring your imagination and learn skills to produce 21st-century animation.
