Join us on March 27, 2025, at Indiana University for a special screening of two Rainbow Serpent films: Blackstar Sanctuary, a virtual reality journey through an ancient Egyptian temple, and Obi Mbu (The Primordial House), a dance performance portraying a Nigerian myth of creation. At the event, Marques Redd will discuss filmmaking as a sacred ritual alongside Dr. Elena Herminia Guzman and Dr. Maria Hamilton Abegunde. As depictions of Black spiritual practices continue to evolve on-screen, this conversation will examine how reverence and creativity shape representations beyond Western religious traditions.
