The Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB) presents Juneteenth with Jon Boogz, an evening of live street dance, short films, and conversation honoring Black artistry and innovation in movement, 6 p.m. Thursday, June 19 at Center Stage Theater, 653 Paseo Nuevo, Santa Barbara.
A reception will follow on the Paseo Nuevo Arts Terrace and after-hours access to MCASB’s current exhibition, Arte del Pueblo.
The program features choreographer, filmmaker, and street dance artist Jon Boogz, whose work fuses social justice themes with cinematic storytelling and movement.
Boogz will be joined by three fellow dancers and longtime collaborators for a live performance and a screening of select award-winning short films. The evening culminates in a Q&A moderated by acclaimed street dancer and Memphis jookin’ ambassador Lil Buck.
“Boogz and Buck are artists whose work stays with you long after you’ve seen it,” said MCASB board member Ingrid Bostrom, who helped organize the event.
“This Juneteenth, we’re honored to welcome them and their collaborators to Santa Barbara for a program that celebrates liberation, expression, and the transformative power of performance,” Bostrom said.
