Co-Presented with Vidiots Community Partner Monkeypaw Productions

Join us as community programming partner Monkeypaw Productions kick off its series Afro-Futurism in Cinema with this screening of Space Is the Place.

Avant-jazz mystic Sun Ra brought his pioneering Afrofuturist vision to the screen with this film version of his concept album. It’s a wild, kaleidoscopic whirl of science fiction, sharp social commentary, goofy pseudo-blaxploitation stylistics, and thrilling concert performance, in which the pharaonic Ra and his Arkestra lead an intergalactic movement to resettle the Black race on their utopian space colony.
