Prior to its emergence as a global brand, Afro-Punk was a grassroots community of Black musicians, artists, skaters and activists existing within the punk rock scene as captured in the eponymous documentary shot and released by James Spooner in 2003. As part of its Political Punk Exhibit, the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) will screen Afro-Punk, the 66-minute film that inspired the Afropunk festival, co-founded by Spooner and Matthew Morgan. Spooner will be in attendance to introduce the film and for a post-screening talk-back. Suggested donation is $5.00 per person.
