LOVE+TIME: Artist Talk & Screening (Fundraiser)

This event features artist Jasmine Lynea -- an artist whose work explores the fluid spaces between truth and myth. A Temple University alum, Jasmine crafts vibrant, boundary-pushing stories that bring unconventional ideas to the forefront. As a 2022 BlackStar Filmmaker Lab fellow, Jasmine wrote and directed the fantasy sci-fi short The Love Machine, which premiered at BlackStar Film Festival and has since captivated audiences at festivals and art exhibitions. In 2023, Jasmine’s work earned them fellowships and grants from Mural Arts, Velocity Fund, and Flaherty’s Queer-World Mending program. Supported by People’s Media Fund and Scribe Video Center, Jasmine is continuing their art practice, exploring painting and performance. Through family photos, music, storytelling, and music videos, Jasmine will deeply look into personal stories and memories that held them back from self-love--questioning and considering—sharing all of what inspired them to write The Love Machine. *Love + Time is a fundraising event to help support the artist and their upcoming exhibitions. We hope to raise $5,000* Event Schedule: 7:00 pm - Doors Open/Check-In 7:30 pm - Artist Talk Film Screening “The Love Machine” Q&A Concludes Event *Light refreshments and beverages will be available Photos by Kahleel Frazier A Note from Weeksville: Weeksville does not allow smoking or vaping outside on the lawn.
