The opening night of Many Tongues™: A Multimedia Storytelling Exhibition will invite guests into a sensory celebration of narrative, art, and community. Held on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at High Society (12826 Livernois, Detroit, MI), the evening opens at 6:00 PM with an atmosphere of sound, flavor, and visual storytelling. Guests are encouraged to mix and mingle, explore the artwork, and enjoy food provided by Ayitis Spaghetti before the panel discussion begins at 7:00 PM, hosted by Brittini Ward.
The panel will feature a dynamic group of Detroit-based creatives and cultural leaders, including Josmine Evans, cook and founder of Indigo Culinary Co.; JeCorey Hawkins, comedian and founder of Good Set Comedy; LaMarr Ward, film director and producer of Aquarian Age Productions; Mikaela “Miki” Evans, sustainable textile artist and Michelle McKinney, director of collections and archivist-librarian of Detroit Sound Conservancy; Together, they will explore how storytelling moves fluidly across mediums — from poetry to food, fashion to film, and comedy to sound — and how each discipline becomes a vessel for memory, legacy, and transformation.
Following the discussion, the evening will flow into a vibrant mix of music, mingling, and sensory exchange, setting the tone for the exhibition’s ongoing activations, including live performances, tastings, short films, fashion talks, and poetry sets inspired by the featured artists’ work. More than an opening, this night marks the beginning of a dialogue where many languages are spoken, listened to, and felt.
