The daring experimenter Dr. John C. Lilly dedicated his life to radical self-investigation and unlocking the mysteries of consciousness and communication. “My body is my laboratory” was the motto, and his research on the language of dolphins and whales – as well as psychedelics and sensory deprivation – assured his own cult status in 20th-century pop culture as the basis for Ken Russel’s Altered States and Mike Nichols’s The Day of the Dolphin.

Donghwa is a fledgling poet in his thirties. He rejects material aspirations and seeks to lead a life dedicated to truth and beauty. On a lazy afternoon, he drives his girlfriend, Junhee, back to her parents’ home outside Seoul. In the driveway, they run into her father, who is strangely interested in Donghwa’s dinged up old car. He takes it for a spin around the block, then invites Donghwa to stay and meet the family: him, his wife, who also writes poetry, and Junhee’s reclusive sister, who practices the gayageum, a traditional string instrument. They end up wiling away the day together, visiting a temple by the river, climbing the hill near the house, watching the sunset, and, sure enough, imbibing drinks. Egged on by Junhee’s dad, Donghwa gets progressively more drunk as the day advances. Finally, he makes a fool of himself at dinner. Then everything begins to unravel for the poet: his relationship, his art, his revolutionary ideals. (Hong Sang-soo, 2025, South Korea, 1:48, NR)

In a tight-knit Dominican American community in The Bronx, Rico (Juan Collado) is hustling his way through the summer, selling bootleg ”nutcracker” cocktails out of a beach cooler and chasing girls without a care in the world. But when his teenage girlfriend, Destiny (Destiny Checo), begins crashing at his place with his family, turning their small apartment into a stage for their messy, complicated young love, it’s only a matter of time before they’re hit with the sobering reality of growing up too fast in a city that waits for no one.
Writer-director Joel Alfonso Vargas turns his hometown into the heartbeat of his debut feature, teaming up with discovery talent Collado and Checo, to deliver a raw and deeply authentic look at life in The Bronx. With humor and grit, Vargas paints a tender portrait of the chaos and charm of urban life, and the ups and downs of youthful abandon when things take an unexpected turn.

Join us for an evening of conversation inside Set the Table: The Art of Nourishment, a multi-gallery exhibition exploring the table as a site of connection, culture, and exchange.
This artist talk brings together participating artists for an intimate discussion on the ideas, materials, and processes behind their work. From food as memory and ritual to questions of ecology, labor, and community, the conversation unpacks how each artist approaches nourishment in its many forms—cultural, emotional, ecological, and creative.
Set within the exhibition itself, the talk invites audiences to engage directly with the artworks and the artists who made them, offering deeper insight into the stories, research, and lived experiences that shape the work on view.
Following the discussion, guests are encouraged to stay, explore the galleries, and continue the conversation.
About the Exhibition
Set the Table: The Art of Nourishment spans all of the Dairy Arts Center’s gallery spaces, examining the table as both a physical and symbolic space—where food, art, and community intersect. Through installation, photography, sculpture, and interdisciplinary practices, the exhibition considers how shared meals carry histories, shape identities, and reflect our relationships to land, labor, and one another.

The morning in Glasgow, the first day of Eid, started as any other. However, when neighbors heard through community message networks that two local men were snatched up for deportation, hundreds of people left their daily lives to rush down to Kenmure Street and put their bodies on the line. Though mostly strangers and with almost no planning, this extremely diverse group organized themselves, taking on essential roles to allow the collective to achieve their goal: protecting their own from government forces going after the most vulnerable among them.
An inspiring and profoundly moving portrait of what “normal” citizens are capable of in the face of injustice, EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET reminds us of the power that is always inherent in the people. (Felipe Bustos Sierra, 2026, UK, 1:35, NR)

13 Fires | June 24 - 26
2026-06-24 18:00 - 19:00 | Grace Gamm Theatre, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS
A powerful new community theater production, 13 Fires, will bring the story of one of America’s great Black cultural districts to the stage in Boulder this season in celebration of Juneteenth. The play tells the story of Indiana Avenue in Indianapolis—once a thriving Black neighborhood filled with jazz clubs, Black-owned businesses and the pioneering entrepreneur Madam C. J. Walker, and legendary performers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington.
Then the neighborhood was almost completely wiped out.
13 Fires explores how Indiana Avenue was dismantled during the expansion of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, when property acquisitions, eminent domain threats, redlining, and rising taxes forced families out of the homes and community they had built. Through intimate storytelling and memories of the Avenue’s golden era, the play confronts the human cost of development and displacement.
While the story unfolds in Indianapolis, the production speaks directly to ongoing conversations about housing, belonging, and community change in Boulder and across Colorado.
Presented during the Juneteenth season, 13 Fires is a moving reflection on culture, displacement, and the enduring spirit of a people determined to keep their stories alive.

A film director gathers his favorite actresses, those he worked with and those he loved. He wants to make a film about women but he doesn’t reveal much: he observes them, takes cue, until his imaginary throw them into another era, in a past where the noise of the sewing machines fills a workplace handled and populated by women, where men have minor and marginal roles and cinema can be told from another point of view: the one of costume. Between loneliness, passions, anxieties, heartbreaking absence and unbreakable bonds, reality and fiction permeate, as well as the lives of the actresses and those of the characters, the competition and the sisterhood, the visible and the invisible.

Slay the Runway is a Firehouse Art Center Fashion Design program offered at no cost to LGBTQIA+ youth and Youth allies to support self-expression. Our goal is to be a safe space for teens to explore their own true style in a Gender Expansive and supportive community.
With cohorts in Longmont and Boulder, instructors start with simple projects that improve student sewing and design skills. As confidence builds, students are challenged to develop their own self-identity as they create an outfit for the showcase. At the fashion show, students unveil something they’ve created in their style and voice while surrounded by a community sharing their life experiences. In addition to garment construction and design, participants will work with make-up artists and choreographers to refine their debuts. While there are fashion camps and sewing classes in the area, no other local offerings address the issue of safe spaces for gender-expansive youth with this depth of creativity, and it is the only program that is no cost to participants.
Slay the Runway’s goal is to create an affirming and accessible space where creativity, expression, and positive self-image are celebrated.
This program is made possible by SCFD, the City of Longmont, OASOS, CU Boulder, your donations, and the never ending enthusiasm and passion of the Slay Team!
