Join us for a Brazilian party curated by Roger Costa, with free drinks, light bites, a drumming performance by Marivaldo Dos Santos and music by DJ Luciano to celebrate the opening of the Newark Black Film Festival, the oldest Black film festival in the country.
The reception will be followed at 8pm by a screening of Executive Order and a panel discussion, featuring Ingrid Silva, ballet dancer at Dance Theatre of Harlem.
