As part of the Bucknell Humanities Center's Themed-Year-Programming, "Black Appalachia and the Search for Nowhere" we are hosting a Film Screening: THE EASTERN KENTUCKY SOCIAL CLUB, followed by a virtual Q and A session from the director, William Isom II after the viewing.Film screening located in the Gallery Theatre, ELC 3rd Fl. The Eastern Kentucky Social Club (EKSC) was founded in 1969 by Appalachian families who migrated out of the coalfields to mostly northern cities. This organization, with chapters all over the country, was established to provide continued connection and reunion for families, friends, churches and schools within the Appalachian diaspora.https://www.blackinappalachia.org/eksc (https://www.blackinappalachia.org/eksc)

More than a dance company, Nrityagram (pronounced NRI-thyuh-graam) was founded as a gurukula (or school) devoted to Indian dance. The all-female ensemble's daily life of intensive training and meditation brings to the stage compelling and captivating performances that are at once sensual and lyrical. They will perform KHAṄKHAṆĀ: The Sound of Dancing Feet with live music.
