Museum Admission
Celebrate Mothers Day Weekend with your mammas, grannies, aunties or sister girls with a film screening of In Our Mothers Garden followed by a post film conversation with filmmaker Shantrelle Lewis and author Marita Golden. Light refreshments will be served.
IN OUR MOTHERS’ GARDENS celebrates the strength and resiliency of Black women and Black families through the complex, and oftentimes humorous, relationship between mothers and daughters. The film pays homage to Black maternal ancestors while examining the immediate and critical importance of self-care, and the healing tools necessary for Black communities to thrive. Featured interviews include: #MeToo founder Tarana Burke; The Roots and Chris Rock tour manager Tina Farris; cultural critic Dr. Brittney Cooper of Rutgers University; Rev. Dr. Theresa S. Thames of Princeton University; holistic lifestyle maven Latham Thomas; photographer Adama Delphine Fawundu and NPR’s Senior Director for Programming Yolanda Sangweni.
“Shantrelle P. Lewis’s doc will have you laughing, crying and educated about the historical lineage of Black mothers and daughters. It is a must see! “– THE CURVY FILM CRITIC
