Visionary artist Rashaad Newsome merges art, AI, and performance to create a multimedia tribute to vogueing and Black queer culture. Invited to stage a show at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, he reclaims the space from its white military past, transforming it into a Black queer utopia. Joined by global collaborators and Being—an AI ‘digital griot’—Newsome’s creative journey unfolds in this immersive documentary. Through striking visuals and storytelling, the film celebrates community, resilience, and the power of art to heal, unite, and spark liberation.

Reviews
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
