From DiverseWorks: "Amidst a global pandemic and a national reckoning with racism, mental health experts are expecting this year to have a devastating impact on communities of color. Disparities have been illuminated, and Black families are facing an increasing variety of challenges related to income, social injustice and access to quality health care. For this reason, The Black Man Project - 2020 Project Freeway Fellow and filmmaker Brian Ellison, anthropologist Marlon Hall, and sculptor Anthony Suber - is hosting a global conversation focused on the Black male experience in contemporary society. This online event aims to reach people from around the world to honor the importance of seeking mental health support. Attendees will be connected to Brian, Marlon, and Anthony for a virtual dinner hosted on the platform Civic Dinners which is designed to create powerful conversations that inspire positive social change. unMASKulinity: A Virtual Salon - Third Ward Edition is made possible by the DiverseWorks Project Freeway Fellowship which provides support for Houston-area artists to create socially-engaged or community-based artistic practices within their own neighborhoods."
