PROSPECT HEIGHTS – THE BROOKLYN CHILDREN’S MUSEUM is marking Black History Month this February with a week-long celebration of the next generation of African and African diaspora culture. The Black Future Festival, held in collaboration with Bed-Stuy’s STooPS arts organization and guest curator Kendra J. Bostock, will feature live performances, dance and music workshops, storytelling, art-making, and more, “inspired by Afrocentric values,” according to the museum.
Highlights will include a hands-on Black history game show, printmaking classes, a Brooklyn-focused interactive dance activity, percussion instrument play-and-create sessions, a Soca dance workout and a STEM lesson on shade structures.
The Black Future Festival will be held from Feb. 16 to Feb. 22; entrance to the festival’s special activities is included in the museum’s standard $15 admission.
