Welcome to Seattle Center
Join us for a special pop-up screening of Beyond Black & White: a documentary film inspiring courageous conversations about racial equity.
Roosevelt High School Beyond Black and White is a 30-minute documentary film chronicling Seattle’s historical attempts at school desegregation through busing as well as the racial equity issues and divisions of today, not only at Roosevelt but at schools throughout Seattle and nationwide.
The screening will be preceeded by a special dance performance by Baile Dior Studios.
There will also be a post-film panel discussion. The audience is encouraged to participate.
Artists At the Center is a multi-year collaboration between Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Center, with support from Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition and the communities adjacent to Seattle Center campus. The project is made possible by a 10-year grant from Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken.
Join us as we introduce emerging and established artists and celebrate their talent on a newly revitalized Seattle Center campus. Artists are given a performance opportunity, allowing them to connect with new audiences, display their talents and advance their careers. Visitors to campus and the surrounding neighborhood benefit from surprising and delightful pop-up performances throughout the year. Each year, artists are selected with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
