“Question Bridge: Black Males” is a transmedia project that seeks to facilitate dialogue between black men of diverse and contending backgrounds by creating a platform for them to represent and redefine black male identity in America.
Through November 16, Rochester Contemporary is presenting the “QB:BM” video installation, and will host a weekly conversation series led and facilitated by Rochester leaders.
City Newspaper will post updates and responses to the related talks and events here throughout the duration of the exhibit.
