Every Friday in the month of July, Knockdown Center hosts BUFU as a part of “US,” a month of daily programming that focuses on gathering, sharing strategies, resources, skills between collectives and how to build through organizing, healing, nightlife, and art. The evenings will kick off with a youth and teen summit and a reading group that will deconstruct Adrienne Marie Brown’s recent book Emergent Strategy followed by a community salon and potluck with guest NYC collectives who will bring different offerings each week.

About BUFU
BUFU works to highlight the lived experiences of those who have been impacted politically and socially by white supremacy, while de-centering whiteness and resurfacing our deeply interconnected and complicated histories. “US” brings that mission into action, and addresses the many ways in which we can organize and support each other across artistic and activist communities. “US” is four weeks of programming building focusing on how we build together through organizing, healing, nightlife, art, and more. The schedule includes workshops, skill shares, conversations, healing cyphers, performances, parties, potlucks, film screenings, dance classes and more!
