At the heart of this exciting new exhibition is our African Film Series, featuring acclaimed works of cinema from over fifteen African countries. Every two weeks we will be featuring a series of three related films. Films “on demand” are available at our cozy two-person viewing stations, as well as a feature film showing in the main gallery, with showtimes at 11:30a.m., 1:45pm, and 4:00pm. A few of our film series include: Education and Empowerment ( August 12 through 22), Women, Gender, and Identity (August 26 through September 5), and High-Tech Africa(September 9 through 19), among others. The film series encourages you to take advantage of the power of film to transform your perspective.
