Stonehaven Studios Brings Free Family-Centered Afrofuturist Art Fair to Inglewood for Juneteenth We
Created for children, teens, caregivers, and multigenerational families, this daytime sanctuary transforms Afrofuturism into a hands-on community experience with interactive local artist booths, workshops, youth artist galleries, live performances, comics, funko pops, and creative wellness programming. The event is designed as a guided experience, rather than a passive drop-in fair, encouraging diverse artists and audiences alike to participate in activities throughout the day to earn raffle prizes.
Programming includes Afrofuturist Self-Portrait workshops, coloring stations, comic book reading nooks, interactive performances, film screenings, raffles, and creative demonstrations. Participants in Stonehaven’s workshops will also have opportunities to exhibit and market their own work!.
Rather than functioning as a traditional networking mixer, this curated evening is structured as an active showcase for multigenerational, multicultural, and multidisciplinary artistry. Featured programming includes MURDERING JAZZ©, hosted by Burbank’s very own Shola Adewusi (MCU, Wonderman, Chewing Gum), film screenings from Emmy-award winner Jean E.S. Powell (The Ms. Pat Show), as well as excerpts from local theatre companies such as Bottle Tree Theatre Company
Other programming includes performances by Johnny Laveie and The 8th Wanderer, screenings of independent short films including CAPTAIN ZERO, and WOLFSLAYER. There will also be excerpts from the Distress Signals Project’s AFTER PASSAGE, and IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS.
The event will also spotlight book series like BLACKTOPIA, Stonehaven Studios’ ongoing multimedia science-fiction series exploring cyberpunk philosophies, solarpunk aesthetics , and speculative liberation. Guests will have opportunities to receive signed companies of BLOOD AT THE ROOT from acclaimed author LaDarrion Williams, as well as BLACKTOPIA authors Kyle Hinton and Bairton Brown. Set On A Hill Studios’ founder Ekaette Elizabeth Shamma will also present her VR poster for BLACKTOPIA.
Stonehaven Studios describes the event as part arts festival, part literacy initiative, and part community wellness activation. The organization is partnering with groups including BEAM, The Comic Den, and The Sidewalk Project to distribute hygiene kits, PPE supplies, and wellness resources while creating accessible creative spaces for local youth and families.
