About this Event

Please join us at the Lewis Music Library for a pop in event featuring the Afrofuturistic sci-fi film "Space is the Place" directed by John Coney and featuring Sun Ra and his Arkestra.

Space is the Place is a 1974 Afrofuturist sci-fi film starring the legendary jazz musician Sun Ra. The film follows Sun Ra as he travels through time and space, seeking to transport Black people to a new utopian planet where they can thrive free from oppression. Blending surreal visuals, philosophical musings, and Sun Ra's signature music, this avant-garde masterpiece is part cosmic odyssey, part social commentary, and wholly unique. It's a kaleidoscopic exploration of liberation, identity, and the boundless power of imagination.


Light snacks and popcorn will be provided.
