The Schomburg Center’s annual Fall Open House is an opportunity for our audiences and patrons to access and engage with our collections, exhibitions, and programmatic offerings in an evening filled with conversations, performances, films and art.
This year’s program, titled The Black Fantastic, focuses on the following themes: radical storytelling and black speculative fiction; black futurism; protest; and black survival.
Meet our librarians, archivists and curators as you take a fantastic journey through the Schomburg’s collection of manuscripts, visual art, photographs and moving images.
