Free Film Screening | Tue, 02/24, 6PM | Goethe-Institut Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984-1992

The poet, writer, and activist Audre Lorde was born February 18th, 1934, to Caribbean immigrant parents in New York City. This February, to celebrate the birthday of the self-described "Black, lesbian, feminist, socialist, mother, warrior, poet," join us for a screening of AUDRE LORDE: THE BERLIN YEARS 1984-1992 to learn more about her connections to Germany and Black German activism.

The film will be introduced by Bryana Jones, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Black Studies at Northwestern University, who will reflect on Lorde's significance to the development of Black feminist and queer theory and her connections to international movements for social justice.

In good Company

What if democracy is, quite literally, a movement–one that starts with putting one foot in front of the other, shoulder to shoulder, as we walk toward an unknown future?

In Good Company, a theatrical walking performance in Houston, Milwaukee, and St. Paul, immerses you in an unexpected encounter with your own city.
