Join us for a full screening of Exhibiting Forgiveness followed by a conversation with Titus Kaphar and Dr. Joan Morgan, March 4th, 2025 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at The Elaine Aiken Theatre 102, located in the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Film Center. This event is hosted by the Center for Black Visual Culture at the Institute of African American Affairs.

Directed and written by Titus Kaphar, the semi-autobiographical Exhibiting Forgiveness stars André Holland as Tarrell Rodin, an accomplished painter whose life is upended by an unexpected reunion with his father, La’Ron (John Earl Jelks), a recovering addict who hopes to rebuild a relationship with his estranged son. Tarrell, now an active and loving father and husband, is skeptical despite the encouragement of his mother. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2024 and has been nominated for 6 NAACP Image Awards, including Outstanding Independent Motion Picture. 

Regsitration is required, but registration does not guarantee seating. Seating will be granted on a first come first serve basis.
