Our programming focuses on exhibiting and celebrating art and expression from Black culture across the African diaspora. \nFrom age-old classics to contemporary work\, the Black Bottom Film Festival (BBFF) illuminates and celebrates African American cinema and uniqueness of Black people on film. The festival screens short and feature films rooted in the recurring themes of spirituality\, race\, family conflict\, honor\, duty and the struggle of the working-class; themes ever-present in August Wilson’s American Century Cycle plays. In particular\, the festival celebrates African American filmmaking pioneers and history makers. The BBFF fosters an examination of how Black filmmakers use art to inspire\, challenge\, confront\, and influence American culture. \nThe August Wilson African American Cultural Center believes that creativity is boundless. We invite you to share your creativity on film with us.

SUMMARY:Pride & Joy
DESCRIPTION:The art of voguing is a queer art form that began in the New York City ballrooms in the 1980’s and continues today. The vogue scene includes performers from diverse backgrounds; however\, it is found predominantly in Black and Brown communities where queer individuals have freedom of self-expression and identity\, a safe space. Voguing is history\, it is a movement\, and we are excited to provide a Vogue Workshop that will be 90 minutes long at the AWAACC. Learn how to Catwalk\, high kick\, drop and pose\, and more about this powerful dance style. \nFor attendees ofthe workshop\, your ticket will include the dance party that begins at 9pm. If you can’t attend the workshop and still want to party with us\, the dance party is free and will begin at 9pm. There will be a DJ\, live performance\, vogue dance battle\, cash bar\, and food vendor. Come and party with the AWAACC as we celebrate PRIDE month\, Happy PRIDE!
