Congo In Harlem 6: Soeur Oyo (Sister Oyo) + Opening Night Celebration
Congo In Harlem 6
(October 19th - 26th)
Congo in Harlem at New York's Maysles Cinema is an annual series of films, panel discussions, performances, parties and special events focused on the history, politics, and culture of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The aim of the series is to deepen our community's understanding of Congo through art and dialogue. Each year, we strive to offer a diverse program that provides more than the traditional movie-going experience -- at Congo in Harlem, our audiences find opportunities to discover Congolese food, music, and artwork, learn about Congo's challenges, and get involved.
Sunday, October 19th, 7:30pm
