SUNSET 1919: A RITUAL

TONIGHTS RITUAL WILL HAPPEN IN THE LOOKINGGLASS THEATRE LOBBY – 163 E Pearson St, Chicago, IL 60611

Sunset 1919 is an annual community Art ritual performed in honor of Eugene Williams, a Black teenager who was killed for crossing an imaginary racial line on the waves of Mishigami (from Ojibwa “Great Water”). Sunset 1919 was first curated and coordinated in 2020 by Ensemble Member and Creative Producer Kareem Bandealy and Ensemble Member and Mellon Playwright in Residence J. Nicole Brooks and it offers a communal moment to acknowledge our Indigenous roots and for Black artists to merge Movement, Music, and Word in a free, spirit-guided ritual. 

This ritual is free and all are welcome to attend. 

Event starts at 7pm at Lookingglass Theatre. The door will be open and available to anyone.

Lookingglass will validate parking through our normal parking partners.
