Thank you for joining us at our private screening of IMAGINARY WALLS at our space in West Oakland. It was a packed house, and we enjoyed the dialog
the film sparked within our community.
Racism is a complex issue and at times seems irreparable. IMAGINARY WALLS explores how how our founders, Kokoman and Aeeshah Clottey, have successfully helped people move beyond racism in their own lives. For over 30 years, the couple has lead racial healing circles, where a diverse group of people can gather, with the specific intention of discussing their experiences and feelings about race. Aeeshah and Kokomon provide an environment that is safe, open-minded, and free from judgment. They stress that racism is a construct of an ill society; a mass delusion, and no one need feel guilt or shame about what they have felt or done in the past. The past is just that: the past. It can be released, let go, and participants can move forward in their lives.
IMAGINARY WALLS was produced by Anita Casalina and initially released in November 2019. If you would like to watch the film, you can request a copy for private viewing through their website.
We hope the documentary engages the audience and inspires them to find a new outlook on their own lives and feelings. By supporting this film, you are supporting the idea that we can all have a healthier, happier state of mind.
You can participate in a racial healing circle the last Wednesday of every month at 7pm. Check out the event page for details.
❤️ AHC
