July 10 – 14 from 12:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. This week of Summer Camp is all about Wood & Clay! We’ll mix up clay and woodworking in Craft Camp this week. Fun projects will result! Campers will learn several techniques in woodworking, clay and glazing. Students learn about the firing process and about the chemistry involved in clay, glazes, and firing. We’ll keep things fun and engaging by incorporating clay and wood into projects… we’ll also work with found objects, and objects from nature.

Director: Marlon T. Riggs | Runtime: 55 minutes | Year: 1989 | Rating: UR | Country: USA | Language: English | Fiction Genre: Documentary, LGBTQIA2S+ Tagline: The seminal documentary on Black gay life, Emmy Award-winning director Marlon T. Riggs’ 1989 Tongues Untied uses poetry, personal testimony, rap, and performance (featuring poet Essex Hemphill and others), to describe the homophobia and racism that confront Black gay men. The stories are fierce examples of homophobia and racism: the man refused entry to a gay bar because of his color; the college student left bleeding on the sidewalk after a gay-bashing; the loneliness and isolation of the drag queen. Yet they also affirm the Black gay male experience: protest marches, smoky bars, “snap diva,” humorous “musicology,” and Vogue dancers. A quarter of a century after its release, director Marlon T. Riggs’ documentary, winner of the Los Angeles Film Critics Award, and Best Documentary prize at the Berlin Film Festival, is as relevant as ever. “My struggle has allowed me to transcend that sense of shame and stigma identified with my being a black gay man. Having come through that fire, they can’t touch me.” —Marlon T. Riggs For more information visit: digitalgym.org
