Ruby City and Blue Star Contemporary—the first and longest-running nonprofit venue for contemporary art in San Antonio—will begin their new partnership with a screening of Barry Jenkins’ critically-acclaimed film Moonlight (2016) on Saturday, May 4. A coming-of-age drama exploring the difficulties of growing up queer in Miami, Moonlight was the first film with an all-black cast—as well as the first LGBTQAI+ film—to win the Oscar for Best Picture. The screening coincides with Studio’s exhibition of Isaac Julien’s seminal 1989 documentary-drama Looking for Langston, which explores black and queer identities. Through this meaningful collaboration, both organizations demonstrate a commitment to providing access to compelling films that galvanize meaningful conversations within the San Antonio community and beyond. After the initial screening of Moonlight, events will be held twice annually.
