Rashaad Newsome: ASSEMBLY at Cinema Village
October 10–16, 2025
Cinema Village
22 E 12th St, New York, NY
Assembly follows visionary artist Rashaad Newsome (2025 Creative Capital Awardee) as he transforms a historic military facility into a Black queer utopia—blending art, AI, and performance. Through stunning visuals and deeply personal moments, the film captures the transformative power of creativity as a fractured community comes together in strength, solidarity, and liberation.
Daily screenings: 2:00, 4:30, 7:00 & 9:30 PM. There will be post-screening conversations after all 7PM shows and 2PM weekend matinees.
