2025-06-19 20:00 - 23:00 | Splinter Collective, 901 N 13th Ave, Tucson, AZ, 85705, United States
Hey you. Yes, you. Everybody!
Join us in celebrating PRIDETEENTH (Juneteenth during pride month or, rather pride celebration in Juneteenth month???)
Anyway, we welcome everyone to this cute little movie night! 🍿
we’ll be popping popcorn and, please feel free to bring your own snacks
you already know that the bar will be open
set in the 90’s, Cheryl Dunye’s Black as fck and Queer as hell film called “The Watermelon Woman” is a pioneering film that blends documentary and fiction. Dunye stars in her own film with a storyline that explores race, sexuality, and history through the lens of a young Black filmmaker’s search for an elusive actress from the 1930s.
from Wikipedia: ““The Watermelon Woman” premiered at the 1996 Berlin International Film Festival. The film… is considered a landmark in New Queer Cinema. It garnered controversy for a [hot ass] lesbian sex scene that prompted a writer for The Washington Times to question its NEA funding, which in turn led to the NEA restructuring their grant system. In 2021, The Watermelon Woman was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.””
This film is a must see.
we’ll be screening indoors at splinter collective’s studio nueve (9)
901 n. 13th ave.
and, because it’s in studio nueve, seats are limited.
18+ (“mature” language and nudity)
doors at 8pm
screening at 830pm
ID check at the door
😷we ask that you wear your mask properly in between sips and bites.
free tickets for BIPOC only and sliding scale community tickets available

Chakras, Prana, Energy Healing, and Solidarity:
Energy Flow and Bodily Awareness: Somatic practices enhance awareness of the body’s energy centers (chakras) and the flow of prana. This can help individuals recognize and address imbalances that may be linked to emotional and psychological issues.
Embodiment and Empowerment: Balancing chakras through somatic practices can empower individuals by enhancing clear communication (Throat Chakra), deepening intuition (Third Eye Chakra), and fostering spiritual connection (Crown Chakra). Empowered individuals are more likely to engage in social justice work effectively.”
Through engaging discussions, higher-self circles, guided meditations, and immersive experiences, we explore the transformative power of yoga, mindfulness, and other healing practices taking our liberation beyond the mat!
