2014 to 2026: Community Healing and Remembrance

Presented in collaboration with Forward Through Ferguson and My Friends and I.
Join us for a thought-provoking showing of the film Ferdinand’s Guide to Grief and a community conversation about grief and healing. This 36-minute short film, directed by Cami Thomas, reflects on the 10-year anniversary of the 2014 Ferguson uprising. Through a lens of poetry, music, and interviews with siblings of Michael Brown Jr. and other St. Louis residents, this film seeks to humanize the experience of collective grief and give a blueprint on how to begin the process of transmuting such emotion. Following the showing, hear from the filmmaker and a panel of community voices discussing mourning, memory, and resistance over a decade after the 2014 Ferguson uprising.
