"When We Gather" (2021) is a short art film that celebrates the women who have played an elemental role in the progress of the United States and offers a call to create a path forward for the leaders of the future.
Conceived by renowned artist María Magdalena Campos-Pons, in collaboration with LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs and Okwui Okpokwasili, the film is directed by Codie Elaine Oliver [Black Love, OWN] and produced over an eight-week period by San Francisco based gallerist Wendi Norris.
"When We Gather: Together" is a 35-minute special that contextualizes the themes of the film: heal, unite, create. It features creative conversations, diverse artistic performances, and behind-the-scenes interviews with the director and performers, and an array of arts and education professionals. This special program is co-produced and hosted by Dr. Nikki A. Greene, tenured professor of art history at Wellesley College and author of an upcoming book that prominently features Campos-Pons.
