Join us at Zeitgeist Gallery for a screening of High Water, a newly produced, narrative short film set in the year 2040. The film follows a laid-off longshoreman caring for his mother, who is living with dementia, as the world around them is changing rapidly.

Inspired by flooding and sea level rise impacting Charleston, SC and the Gullah Geechee community,  High Water explores the emotional toll of climate displacement, gentrification, and the erasure of Black and Gullah Geechee communities.

Before the screening, we invite you to explore To Gather: Together, an exhibit curated by Alisa Jernigan and Evan Roosevelt Brown. After the film, join a conversation with writer and director Tyquan Morton as we reflect on the intersections of flooding, memory, and Black communal life.

RSVP encouraged. Limited seating available.
