TCB and the Jerome Jennings Quintet Plus Reception @ Acme Screening Room
2026-05-16 18:00 - 22:00
Join us for a special evening at the Acme Screening Room in Lambertville, NJ!
First a screening of the documentary “TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing”. The film is a biography of the influential writer, filmmaker and cultural worker, who with humor and deep insight, inspired a generation of artists to dedicate themselves to community empowerment. The film is structured as a series of lessons on cultural organizing, gleaned from Bambara’s life and shared by her friends, colleagues and students.
Film producer/director Louis Massiah commissioned accomplished Jazz drummer, Jerome Jennings to score the soundtrack. His music complements the visuals, transporting the audience back to the time and places in which Cade Bambara lived. Following the film Jerome will perform live at the ACME with the Jerome Jennings Quintet.
A food and wine reception will be held during a half hour intermission after the film.
All funds benefit the programming of Flemington DIY and ACME Screening Room.

SLOW PORTRAITS – THE PEOPLE WE PASS EVERY DAY
Christianne Ebel & Nolan Yamashiro

As part of Flemington DIY’s Community Photo Capture, we hope you will join us during the Sip N Stroll for a free adventure into slow portraits. Working with analog processes, this project offers a counterpoint to the speed of everyday image-making, inviting participants into a slower, more intentional photographic experience.
Join us! You are invited to take part in a Slow Portrait, a carefully composed photograph made using a 4×5 large format camera.
Each participant will:
• Sit for a guided portrait created through a deliberate, visible process
• Receive a Polaroid portrait as an immediate takeaway
• Become part of a growing visual archive created over the course of the evening
Alongside the portrait sessions, Polaroids will be displayed in a structured, evolving installation, forming a live pop-up exhibition that reflects the people present that night.
