More info on the film: In 2021, spurred on by the prospect of Rhizome having to relocate, community member Tatev Sargsyan headed up efforts to secure funding from Humanities DC to undertake an oral history project focused on Rhizome in the larger context of the precarious existence of spaces that foster expression and connection. Tatev completed the oral histories and in 2022 again received funding from Humanities DC to build the oral histories into a video documentary. The results are truly wonderful, capturing the spirit of Rhizome from a range of perspectives, and incorporating so much amazing footage recorded here over our first 7(!) years. Come watch on the big screen with us!
