Join Black Spatial Relics for our second annual Convening, Happening February 23 - 27, 2021:

Now as much as ever, radical gathering spaces for rumination on Black freedoms are crucial. From February 23 - 27, 2021, Black Spatial Relics (BSR) is hosting its second annual convening. Building on our work to create Black spaces for creation, exploration, and community, this will be a free and virtual convening that will feature our 2020 artists-in-residence and several other Black performance makers and scholars from around Philadelphia and beyond. The convening will be free and open to the public. 

Sharing in love, joy, hope, and freedom dreaming, together we will also celebrate our five-year anniversary, and look forward to what is in the stars next. We invite you to look back on all of our proudest moments as an initiative and join us in our future growth.
