Film Series @ The Carr Center
Every Thursday at 7:30 PM, NOVA24 will be collaborating with The Carr Center to showcase films that seek to tell stories across several genres, techniques, and schools of thought.
Founded in 1991, The Carr Center’s core mission is to platform and uplift Black excellence, history, creativity, and culture. The Carr Center hosts multiple programs aimed at educating others about the importance of preserving Black artistry—particularly notable is their Artist Hub, which supports local and regional artists and hosts rotating exhibits and guest artist residencies. Their dedication to displaying various forms of art, from photo and film to music and poetry, makes The Carr Center one of Detroit’s foremost patrons of creativity, and NOVA24 is extremely honored to take part in The Carr Center legacy.
The series will include short film group screenings from various filmmakers, as well as highlighted screenings of Danielle Eliska’s “Serial Monogamous” and Miles Reuben’s “Merlot”. Programming includes an artist talk made up of those filmmakers to give audiences insight on their creative processes. Join us every Thursday from July 11th to August 1st to explore the emerging voices of Detroit’s film scene.

Closing Reception + Film Screening | FemmeVOYANT
Curated in partnership with NOVA24 founders Mara Magyarosi-Laytner and Raymar, and The Congregation curator Dr. Chanel Beebe, FemmeVoyant is a month-long celebration of contemporary photography and film works by Detroit’s newest generation of young Black femme creatives.
Starting on Monday, June 8th, our featured exhibition will take place on the first floor and outside walls of The Congregation, where attendees will get the chance to view gorgeous portfolios, photomurals, and film stills from each of our eight presenting artists. There will be opportunities to watch the full films created by our artists at each event, beginning with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, June 12th from 6–8 PM. In addition, there will also be an Artist Talk on Saturday, July 13th from 4–5:30 PM. Attendees will be able to hear the philosophies behind the work of our photographers and filmmakers, as well the struggles and victories they faced in bringing their ideas to life. Finally, we close out the event with a film screening and closing reception on Sunday, July 28th from 2-5 PM.
FemmeVoyant, a follow up to last year’s Detroit Month of Design exhibition The Prelude, was created with the goal of uplifting and highlighting the voices of Black photographers and filmmakers, particularly the voices of young women. In creating this exhibition, we want to take part in the community-wide effort of showcasing talented creatives that have historically been underrepresented amongst all sectors of the art world.
