We are a space created to foster community around a love for learning where TV is the textbook and you can create the syllabus.
Our first (of hopefully many) events is a fundraiser for our friend Kayinsola, a first generation student who is raising money to go to Harvard to study Learning Design, Innovation and Technology with a special look at the links between media and education.
By purchasing a ticket you will automatically be contributing to Kayinsola's fundraising efforts. Throughout the night there will be opportunities to donate further if you so choose, but there is no obligation to.
Join us as we explore themes of Blackness, femininity, media and education, all for a good cause. We believe that learning doesn't stop when you leave the classroom and we can find answers in many different places, one scene at a time.
