Join the Lafayette History Museum and the Arts & Cultural Resources Department for a screening of the film “The Silence of Quarantine.” Created by local director and producer Katrina Miller, the film follows two elderly African American women living in Boulder, Colorado during the Covid-19, Quarantine shut-down. With the churches closed, limited visitors, and nowhere to go, these women are in danger of becoming shadows of themselves and losing their lives while nobody knows how to help them. The film will be followed by a Q&A panel.

The screening is part of the new exhibit THREADED at the Collective, curated by Tya Anthony and featuring works by Adderly Grant-Lord, Jazz Holmes, Shaunie Berry, Yaz Atmore, and Tya Anthony.

The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.”
