The Soul Center of Art & History is a community led museum that centers the Black experience across the African Diaspora. It is a cultural hub for the social, political, educational, and creative scholarship that will allow us to apply what we have learned from our past in a way that moves us closer to a more just and equitable future.

The Soul Center does everything that a traditional museum does. We:

-conduct research and disseminate information

-curate exhibits

-host community led workshops/classes

-preserve and display history, art, and culture

We are unique because we:

- are a model for communities of color to steward their own history and culture

- are entirely community led and center lived experience and direct impact

- utilize film and storytelling as a way to continue our oral traditions

- intentionally implement what we learn from the past to advance our community

Our first annual film festival is dedicated to celebrating the creative voices of Black filmmakers. This festival aims to provide a platform for thought-provoking films that shed light on critical social issues (equity, justice, labor, housing, climate change, immigration, and interpersonal relationships).

The Soul Center Film Fest is dedicated to:

1. Showcasing a diverse range of films that tackle social justice issues, from racial equity to environmental justice and beyond.

2. Amplifying the voices and stories of Black and Brown filmmakers, both emerging and established.

3. Encouraging dialogue, collaboration, and action by connecting filmmakers, activists, and audiences.

4. Fostering a space for critical reflection and empathy through the art of storytelling.
