SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22ND
THE SECOND ANNUAL ONE DROP EVENT
Organized by Ano Bank$ in collaboration with Backyard Series and Ninety8Views
All are welcome to a special Black History Month celebration of culture and community with live music, dance, art, food & drink!
The event is a celebration of the African Diaspora and Culture, in the middle of the month that celebrates African American History. Come support and see an exhibition of work by some of Chicago’s most talented black folk for an interdisciplinary evening in Woodlawns Experimental Station!
We come together to celebrate and share a community of wordsmiths, soundsmiths, and creative individuals. In light of all this political shame, environmental madness, and callous injustice, it’s important to stand together and remind ourselves that we will always hold the power in our hands to lift each other up and put effort into making an impact that does matter.
We invite everyone to a stage set for you- Take your place alongside a talented set of performers for the evening. This night is an opportunity for residents and guests to network and engage with the wide community of underground Chicago.
