Doors: 6:30 p.m.
Event Starts: 7:00 p.m.
Location: Movement on Montrose
Join us for a wonderful evening of conversation, community, and care. We’ll be meeting up at Movement on Montrose to view clips from One Another. This forthcoming documentary takes a look at the ways friendships support and shape us as they’re broken, tested, and remade.
In between clips, we’ll have curated conversations with the filmmakers, Amber Love and Andrea Raby, and leaders from Women Unite! and Chicago United Solidarity Project. These discussions will connect concepts of kinship and connection to mutual aid movements and invite attendees to participate in the beautiful movement work happening throughout the city.
