"I play it cool
And dig all jive
That’s the reason
I stay alive.
My motto,
As I live and learn,
is:
Dig And Be Dug
In Return." - Motto by Langston Hughes
Take a trip to Seattle’s underground film scene. This is a specially curated block of shorts from none other than Lex Scope with Scope Screenings showcasing daring and unconventional works that push the boundaries of storytelling. Each film invites audiences to explore the creativity and innovation that thrives beyond mainstream cinema.
Concessions available for purchase. Alcohol available for purchase for 21+ attendees.
This project is incredibly special and holds more sentimental value than anything we’ve ever created. It’s steeped in nostalgia, reflecting the love and strength of the Black women who raised me—my mother, grandmother, aunties, and countless homegirls. I wanted to honor their stories and their legacy with this work.
Black women’s hair culture is often overlooked and underappreciated in the mainstream. Despite being the most beneficial & influential people in the hair industry, Black women’s contributions and preferences are not highlighted as they should be. This industry has profited from them for decades, yet fails to truly celebrate or understand them.
Black women are the heartbeat of the hair industry. The passion and care they put into their hair is immense. I’ve seen how a bad haircut can affect your mood, confidence, and self-esteem. The investments made in our hair reflect its significance. So, let’s celebrate that.
