| Description |
Join NYC Parks for a free screening of the award-winning documentary, "All Me: The Life & Times of Winfred Rembert". Special guests to include artist Winfred Rembert and filmmaker Vivian Ducat.
With his intensely autobiographical paintings depicting the day-to-day existence of African Americans in the segregated South, Winfred Rembert has preserved an important, if often disturbing, chapter of American history. His indelible images of toiling in the cotton fields, singing in church, dancing in juke joints, or working on a chain gang are especially power-ful, not just because he lived every moment, but because he experienced so much of the injustice and bigotry they show as recently as the 1960s and 70s.
To R.S.V.P please call 212-408-0293 or email artsculturefun@parks.nyc.gov.
