2:30pm – VIGILANT: Those who protect the streets at night have their own set of rules to follow; their own code. But for a black vigilante, it’s a whole different ballgame. What happens when you encounter one of your own, someone you know? How do you refrain from looking like “just another black man” running the streets at night?

This workshop of Vigilant: A Black Vigilante’s Rule Book dives into this world of complexities and contradictions.
