This trip to the DIA has a primary focus on the Regeneration Exhibit and a special Motown Tribute concert. Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898 – 1971 honors the legacy of African American filmmakers and actors from the dawn of cinema, through the golden age, and into the aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement. Regeneration includes historical photographs, costumes, props, posters, and interactive elements specifically designed for this exhibition and juxtaposed with significant contemporary artworks. Regeneration highlights the agency many Black artists asserted in their respective crafts despite challenges of systematic racism, revealing their tenacity, immense talent, and unwavering commitment to creative expression. You will have two hours to experience this dynamic exhibit (quite possibly sneak in café time if you wish) and then at 1:00 pm enjoy a special live, melodies at the museum performance. Enjoy a Motown Tribute with G-Note 7: performing Motown classics from the 1960s and 1970s in the Detroit Film Theatre. You will also receive to-go cookies and bottled water for the bus ride back. This trip is “What’s Going On” (Marvin Gaye)!
