DESCRIPTION:Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be a
	ssigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are a
	ssigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one hou
	r before the event.\n\n\nWith cameras pointed toward the skies\, historica
	lly\, the television lens has framed the aspirations and triumphs of Ameri
	ca’s space program as a largely patriotic\, mostly homogeneous final front
	ier. Concurrently\, amid the fanfare of rockets and moon shots\, artists o
	f vision and conscience have disrupted such regularly scheduled TV program
	ming to contest the cool medium’s status-quo constructions of race\, space
	 and place. Breaking the barriers of the cathode-ray tube\, these counter-
	narratives expand the small screen universe\, centering African Americans 
	in humankind’s reaching endeavors to explore strange new worlds. Through p
	oetry\, music and allegorical drama\, this assembly of provocative broadca
	sts explicates unjust conditions on Earth while challenging the mythos of 
	a benevolent\, star-spangled militaryindustrial complex that serves as gat
	ekeeper to the galaxies.\n\nCuration and notes by Mark Quigley.\n\nEvent W
