Carnegie Hall

If the world is hopelessly unjust, is space the place? The Brooklyn Institute for Social Research and Film Forum screen Sun Ra’s Afrofuturist musical-cinematic classic Space Is the Place. This controversial, thought-provoking, and musically dazzling vision of racial, social, and terrestrial transcendence with its far-out space-age costumes and production design inspired the visual language of Afrofuturist films and music videos for years to come. A discussion and audience Q&A with DJ Spooky—moderated by Rebecca Ariel Porte and Ajay Singh Chaudhary of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research—follows the 4 PM screening.
