Inspired by the Black ABCs, “Don’t Go Tellin' Your Momma” is a musical odyssey, album and film about the New Jersey born artist Topaz Jones’ education on his own Black identity.

Don’t Go Tellin’ Your Momma

Feeling anxious about adulthood, Sean Wang found comfort in the innocence (and youthful chaos) of middle school through his old yearbooks. He was curious about how his old friends were handling adulthood, so he called them. In H.A.G.S. (Have A Good Summer), we see a vivid illustration of the joys and pains of coming of age.

H.A.G.S.

Takeover explores the 12 historic hours on July 14, 1970, when 50 members of the Young Lords Party stormed the dilapidated Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx and made their cries for decent healthcare known to the world. Through archival footage, seamless reenactments and modern-day interviews, we follow the Young Lords’ resistance against institutions curated by wealth and white supremacy, and their fight for the most basic of human rights: the right to accessible, quality healthcare.
