Just as the concert in Ghana became a bridge across continents\, POW Fest seeks to build bridges across our diasporic communities here in Brooklyn and beyond. \n\n\n\nFollowing the film\, join us for a dialogue with therapists and social workers on healing\, identity\, and the diaspora. \n\n\n\nPanelist Bios \n\n\n\nDiamond Jones- MSW is a Brooklyn-based therapist and experience artist who created Only Humans Department\, an interactive game series designed to deepen people’s relationships with their emotions through play and vulnerability. She blends therapeutic care with sensory-rich design to create spaces that are honest\, human\, and beautifully felt. \n\n\n\nRooted in the belief that emotions deserve softness and design\, Diamond’s approach invites people to move beyond survival and into deeper self-awareness\, joy\, and intimacy. Only Humans Department helps dismantle mental health stigma in Black communities by fostering liberation through the audacity of feeling deeply. \n\n\n\nCoumbah- is a multidisciplinary artist who uses sociology as a foundation to disrupt traditional approaches to curation\, centering community care and mutual aid. Their work is deeply rooted in the search for and creation of alternative third spaces—sites of refuge\, resistance\, and collective sustenance. Drawing from an academic background\, Coumbah responds to the demands of survival and creation for artists\, engaging in a praxis that navigates the tensions of identity\, belonging\, and artistic expression. As a Black femme West African artist often feeling unmoored within the diaspora\, they are in constant negotiation with what it means to hold space for themselves and others. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE URL:https://admin-old.weeksvillesociety.org/event/weeksville-watchnight-soul-to-soul-1971-2/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://admin-old.weeksvillesociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Weeksville-Watchnight-9.18.25-Website_1500x1000_B-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250913T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250913T150000 DTSTAMP:20250910T162558Z CREATED:20250910T162557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250910T162558Z UID:10276-1757772000-1757775600@admin-old.weeksvillesociety.org SUMMARY:Rest and Restore Yoga 9/13/25 DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Rest and Restore yoga series led by Six of Sensate Wellness. \n\n\n\nJoin us in embracing the restorative power of movement practice – a deeply revitalizing experience within our vibrant and communal space.

Together\, they will delve into the critical role of African Diasporic music within the classical chamber music canon\, challenging the audience to consider its significance\, its history\, and its power in shaping a more inclusive future for the arts. \n\n\n\nAt its heart\, this event asks: How can the stories and sounds of African-descended people expand and redefine what we accept as “classical”?

Of what could be. Of what can be. We will ask and look toward: Who or what can figure as the realization of a wish? How is wish concerned with the future? “Black Poetry and The Wish: Imagining Otherwise and its Otherworlds” will utilize listening\, reading\, and generative exercises to delve into the potential of the wish. Bring your creativity to writing the wish.\n\n\n\nMixing and Remixing: The Poetics of Collaging the Archive (Led by Kenia Hale)- Throughout this intergenerational hands-on session\, we’ll work together to make collages and poems using materials from the Elders Project\, collectively activating the archive and exploring the ways that our communities mix and remix our archival methods\, creating intergenerational conversation and pass through. Think a quilting b – but with collaging!\n\n\n\nReunion in Ink: A Letter Writing Workshop (Led by Nyssa Chow)- This isn’t just about putting pen to paper; it’s about reclaiming parts of yourself\, honoring those who walk with you\, and acknowledging the wisdom you carry. Borrowing from oral history\, a listening practice that attends to the subtle ways that we make meaning with and alongside our worlds\, we will engage an approach that invites us to listen for our embodied knowledge\, both inherited and born. What do you feel a duty to remember? Who needs to hold this knowledge? What memories do you belong to\, and what belongs to you? Who holds an imagination for your dignity? Through guided prompts and shared reflection\, we’ll treat re-membering as medicine\, recognizing the power of gathering and languaging. What ways of seeing\, knowing\, and relating are worlded in you? This generative writing practice invites us to slow down\, listen\, and allow that awareness to carry us a distance\, and notice where we go. Who will you speak to? Who speaks with you?\n\n\n\n\n3:30pm – 4:30pm \n\n\n\nIntergenerational Conversation \n\n\n\nA conversation moderated by Ellery Washington in conversation with poet Cheryl Boyce Taylor and activist and educator Afua Kafi Akua reflecting on aging\, memory\, and identity. \n\n\n\n4:30pm – 5:30pm  \n\n\n\nLive sonic interpretations of Waterfront Queer Stories: Elders’ Resilience Amidst Changing Tides featuring 20-minute performances by STEMLINES\, Kambaba Jasper\, and Viper. \n\n\n\nFEATURED ARTIST & SPEAKERS \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfua Kafi-Akua  \n\n\n\nAfua Kafi-Akua was born in the Bronx and is now retired\, but works as a Media and Communications professor at NYC College of Technology.

We dance.  \n\n\n\nJoin us on Sunday\, June 1 from 1pm – 6pm as we celebrate Pinkster\, a 17th-century festival rooted in the resilience\, resistance\, and cultural expression of enslaved Africans in early New York. \n\n\n\nOriginally a Dutch observance of Pentecost brought to the region during colonization\, Pinkster was transformed by generations of Africans and African-Americans into a spirited celebration of identity\, culture\, and survival.  \n\n\n\nFor enslaved peoples—who had few chances to rest or gather—Pinkster offered this rare moment. Over several days\, it became a time to celebrate\, resist bondage\, and nurture community through music\, dance\, food\, religious rituals\, and ancestral traditions. And so today we continue to honor Pinkster as a living embodiment of the strength and ingenuity of New York’s enslaved peoples\, and their enduring impact on our cultural heritage.  \n\n\n\nJoin us at Weeksville to experience Pinkster’s sights\, sounds\, and flavors through through live music\, traditional dance\, games\, workshops\, art-making\, and delicious food that reflects Black foodways and folkways. We’re honored to partner once again with Chief Baba Neil Clarke\, the Pinkster Players\, and community friends and family to share the history\, significance\, and continued relevance of this powerful festival.  \n\n\n\nLet us gather to celebrate our ancestors—and ensure their stories continue to pass on and  inspire future generations. Free and open to all. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE URL:https://admin-old.weeksvillesociety.org/event/pinkster-festival/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://admin-old.weeksvillesociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pinkster-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250524T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250524T170000 DTSTAMP:20250520T234351Z CREATED:20250515T200613Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250520T234351Z UID:9758-1748088000-1748106000@admin-old.weeksvillesociety.org SUMMARY:Weeksville Community Garden Day & Green Market DESCRIPTION:COMMUNITY GARDEN DAY at Weeksville! \n\n\n\nSaturday\, May 24\, 2025 \n\n\n\n12pm  – 5pmFREE & open to all ages – no RSVP needed! \n\n\n\nJoin us for a joyful\, hands-on celebration of food\, culture\, art\, and community!
