Families living in or visiting New York City can participate in a Spring Family Day celebrating Afrofuturism on April 10 at 12 pm. Remember to RSVP and follow Covid restriction.
Carnegie Hall’s Spring Family Day is a daylong open house that invites children and their parents to explore the idea of Afrofuturism on April 10, 2022 at 12 PM. In a fitting nod to the boundless imagination of Afrofuturism, families enjoy an array of social experiences, arts activities, music making, concerts, and more. Design your own comic-book hero and super-powered instruments for harmony and justice, and participate in a group songwriting session. Sing and dance to soulful funk music, build your own instruments from recycled materials, and more! Ages 5-10 enjoy a Afrofuturism Dance Party with critically acclaimed author, filmmaker, and dancer Ytasha Womack who leads a dance party championing Afrofuturism and the power of imagination. This very special part of Carnegie Hall’s Afrofuturism festival lets you create and learn alongside other families throughout the Resnick Education Wing. Registration for this event opens March 28. Carnegie Hall is located at 57th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan.
