Eat Art: An Art Ain't Innocent Film

Art Ain’t Innocent premieres Eat Art on Third Friday Durham, October 21, 6-8pm. Join us for screenings in the theater at Hayti Heritage Center and outdoors at Five Points Plaza in downtown Durham. The film runs approximately 15 minutes and will be shown continuously on a loop in both locations.

Eat Art tackles the art world inequity of not properly paying artists for their work. Too often artists are offered exposure instead of payment. Using an absurdist lens, this short film highlights these inequities, shares artists’ stories, and points to a different, more sustainable future.

Eat Art was directed by @monetisart produced by @meg.stein.art and filmed by @trlawwmedia. Other artists involved in the film include @gemynii @suittsyouwrite @ascho3 @i.patience.i @kenrumble @geesix @itssabataj @willart4food @sadly_temporary @antoinesart @afro_daakye @syruslune @fernunfurled @shirletteammons @sunandbone @heatherrrcook
