TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing screening & conversation

Join us for a screening of TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing—a new feature film directed by Louis Massiah and Monica Henriquez—that chronicles the incendiary life of one of CUNY’s most beloved teachers. The film highlights how we can learn from Bambara in a time of renewed questions around Black feminist internationalism, coalitions, and institutions-building, multi-media interventions, and partisan public studies.

We are honored to bring Massiah and Henriquez to the CUNY Graduate Center to screen the film, and afterwards to engage in a dialogue with Bambara scholars and GC alums Makeba Lavan and Conor Tomás Reed.

This free screening is open to all. Space is limited. Please register to attend. We will also have copies available of Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative’s archival publication of Toni Cade Bambara’s teaching archives, “ edited by Lavan and Reed.
