For its seventh annual Black Artstory month, The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership has teamed up with Black Gotham Experience to create “Front and Center/ed,” a series of four special programs. Showcasing a gamut of visual and performing arts, the free events will take place every Friday in February.
The month kicks off on Friday, February 1 with moderated discussions on Black Brooklyn history and style at BLDG 92 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The panels, one at 7:30 p.m. and one at 8:45 p.m., include historian Prithi Kanakamedala, Weeksville Heritage Center President and Executive Director Rob Fields, author Constance C.R. White and photographer Barron Claiborne.
