Thee Immersive: Onward/Upward

Join us in honoring women of New Haven with a documentary exhibition for Onward Upward produced by Krystal Harris. Through the life of Myrtle W. Ponteau, we'll explore the collective experiences of Black women who made New Haven their home during the second part of the Great Migration.

​

Immerse yourself in a journey back to the 1960s and 1970s as we celebrate stories, resilience, and enduring legacies. Enjoy in fine Southern cuisine, live entertainment, and our "walking look book" showcasing signature fashions from these iconic decades.

​

...don't forget to wear BLACK or WHITE attire to help us elevate the experience.
