A group of student filmmakers from Highland Park High School tried to solve the mystery of who created it\, how it was placed on the primary school’s famous Tile Wall\, and why it was allowed to hang there for almost forty years. \nThis film was created as part of the Highland Park African American History Project (HPAAHP)\, a digital storytelling initiative by students at Highland Park High School\, under leadership and direction of John Hulme\, a local documentary filmmaker who is himself a graduate of that school. HPAAHP was supported by an NJCH Incubation Grant in 2016 and Action Grant in 2017. Blacked Out was featured in film festivals in Montclair\, Hoboken\, Harlem\, and Vero Beach\, where the film was met with considerable interest and acclaim. It was also featured in numerous community conversations about legacies of racism in Highland Park. \nJoin us on August 24\, 2022\, for a screening of the film and post-film discussion featuring John Hulme and some of the former students who created the film. The discussion will be facilitated by Purcell Carson\, a filmmaker and editor who has worked on many lauded documentary films featuring New Jersey stories. Purcell also teaches a seminar in urban studies and film at Princeton University\, where she is project director of a multi-year community-based documentary project\, The Trenton Project. \nThe post-film discussion will be recorded and posted to the NJCH website following the in-person event.

It was in the devastated Central Ward\, where Kea salvaged materials from buildings being torn down after Newark’s 1967 uprising. She worked on her ark for years before city officials finally took note and demanded it gone. For a brief time\, the art world and local community united to try and save Kea’s Ark\, and their struggle became national news. But the public protests and court challenges failed\, and Kea dismantled her giant boat in 1988. Yet Kea’s Ark remains a symbol of hope in Newark and beyond. \nKea’s Ark features rare archival and contemporary interviews and footage to tell the story of Kea Tawana\, a self-taught artist\, engineer\, housing activist\, and trans woman whose visionary work continues to resonate today\, and whose ark remains a powerful symbol of hope in Newark and beyond. The film won a 2021 Mid-Atlantic Emmy for Arts Programming. PCK Media received an NJCH Action Grant in 2017 to support the creation of this film. \n\n\nYou can watch the film for free on your own time through August 7 (please RSVP to receive the link via email\, and use password “Kea” to view the video).\nWe also invite you to join us on July 27\, 2022\, from noon-1pm for a discussion featuring filmmaker Susan Wallner of PCK Media (please RSVP to receive the Zoom link via email).\n\n\nThe discussion will be facilitated by Purcell Carson\, a filmmaker and editor who has worked on many lauded documentary films featuring New Jersey stories. Purcell also teaches a seminar in urban studies and film at Princeton University\, where she is project director of a multi-year community-based documentary project\, The Trenton Project. She is a graduate of Brown and Stanford. \nRegister below to receive the link to the film and get a reminder about the discussion program. \nAbout the Filmmaker \nKea’s Ark was produced\, directed\, and written by Susan Wallner\, an award-winning producer of arts and history programming.
