SOUL FOOD
This Thursday, we have an amazing event that's one part educational and one part gustatory! It's the History of Soul Food and Taste Test on Thursday, Feb. 12 from 6-7 PM at the Downtown Library. Learn the roots, resistance, and resilience found in Black soul food traditions, and then taste samples from local soul food producers!
AAFF
The 64th Ann Arbor Film Festival is next month, but to get people excited, film fest executive director Leslie Raymond is stopping by the library on Saturday, Feb. 14 from 1-3pm to screen eight award-winning experimental films from the 63rd AA Film Festival. You can see documentaries, animation, narrative, and hybrid short films at this event, which will be followed by a Q&A with Leslie herself!
