A highly abstract graphic with swirling, dynamic shapes that resemble soft fabric or liquid motion. The image primarily consists of dark purple, black, and gray tones with a granular, textured appearance, adding a sense of depth and dimension. The purple shapes dominate the center of the image, gradually blending into darker shades at the edges, creating a striking, almost hypnotic visual effect. The overall composition gives a fluid, organic feeling, with soft, curved lines and gradients that flow together, evoking a sense of movement and abstract energy.

A Critical Conversations Event

Join us on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, from 6:30 – 8:30 PM in Higgins Hall, 61 St. James Place, Brooklyn, NY 11238, for a special screening of One Million Experiments, a documentary that explores the many ways communities around the world are reimagining safety and justice. Born out of a podcast and a curated collection of community-based safety projects from the 2020 uprising, the film features in-depth interviews with movement workers across the globe. One Million Experiments expands our understanding of what truly keeps us safe, celebrates transformative work already underway, and invites all of us to join the joyous journey toward liberation. Rather than seeking a single solution, the film highlights the importance of exploring multiple pathways to freedom. We are excited to welcome the film’s co-hosts, Damon Williams and Daniel Kisslinger, along with representatives from New York-based experiment organizations and a special guest moderator. Together, they will lead a performance, screening, and interactive conversation, showcasing emerging possibilities for liberation. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage in a powerful exploration of justice and community-led safety.
