Watch here: https://www.moca.org/screen Three weeks ago, MOCA was invited by the Hirschhorn Museum and artist Arthur Jafa to join a multi-museum, 48-hour web screening of Love Is The Message, The Message Is Death (2016), Jafa's acclaimed meditation on the roots and realities of Black history and aesthetics. For the thirteen museums that own editions of the work, the collective presentation demonstrates a desire to share this profound film with as wide an audience as possible, in a time of widespread and urgent reckoning over the legacies and ongoing realities of racial violence and inequity. It is important to state that the screening is not intended to stand in for or ameliorate MOCA's own grappling with anti-Black racism, but to amplify the voice of this artist–and the voices in this artwork. Two roundtable discussions convened by the artist and moderated by Tina Campt, the Owen F. Walker Professor of Humanities and Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, will take place this weekend @sun_haus ⁣: https://sunhaus.us/ Roundtable | Saturday, June 27, 2 pm EST⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Participants include Peter L'Official, assistant professor of literature at Bard College; Josh Begley, artist; Elleza Kelley, writer and doctoral candidate at Columbia University.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Roundtable | Sunday, June 28, 2 pm EST⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Participants include Aria Dean, artist and assistant curator of net art and digital culture at Rhizome; Rashaad Newsome, artist; Isis Pickens, First Lady of Los Angeles’ Zion Hill Baptist Church; and Simone White, poet and assistant professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣
