In anticipation of the live performance debut of When We Gather, we have made the original films available for viewing online through April 30. Please visit our Eventbrite page here to register and watch. Enjoy!

When We Gather (2021) is a five-minute film that celebrates the women who have played an elemental role in the progress of the United States and offers a call to create a path forward for the leaders of the future.

Conceived by renowned artist María Magdalena Campos-Pons, in collaboration with LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs and Okwui Okpokwasili, the film is directed by Codie Elaine Oliver and produced over an eight-week period by San Francisco based gallerist Wendi Norris. Collaborating artists also featured in the film include Dell Marie Hamilton, Jana Harper, Lisa E. Harris, and Samita Sinha.

"When We Gather: Together" is a 35-minute special that contextualizes the themes of the film: heal, unite, create. It features creative conversations, diverse artistic performances, and behind-the-scenes interviews with the director and performers, and an array of arts and education professionals. This special program is co-produced and hosted by Dr. Nikki A. Greene, a tenured professor of art history at Wellesley College and author of an upcoming book that prominently features Campos-Pons.
