Description

Introducing OBS’s annual Culture Show: Once Upon a Tomorrow. Storytelling is and always has been a crucial part of Black culture—from the folktales of African gods and goddesses told by our ancestors, to afrofuturistic imaginings of entirely new worlds. This year, our culture show will be focusing on just that: stories that transcend time. Together we’ll reimagine the gold, mystic aesthetics of the past, embrace the realism of the stories we are a part of today, and imagine the infinite cosmic Blackness of the future. Throughout three acts- Act I: Yesterday, Act II: Today, Act III: Tomorrow- we will showcase talent and tell our stories through art, song, poetry, dance, fashion, and more. Join us for a night of magic and fun, as we reclaim our narrative and tell our stories.
