WELCOME WEDNESDAY
101 #FuckOutMyFace: Prince Harvey’s Music Video Release Hosted by Morehshin Allahyari
Wednesday, September 12th
7-10 pm (screening at 8pm)
Eyebeam first fall Welcome Wednesday, hosted by Morehshin Allahyari, premieres the visual for “101: #FuckOutMyFace”. It’s the first single from Prince Harvey’s forthcoming sophomore upcoming album, Red Dress, to be released this fall. The viewing will be followed by a Q&A with Prince Harvey and the video’s cinematographer Antonia Colodro, moderated by Kai de la Cruz.
In 101 the velvet-clad rapper encapsulates his experience navigating the world in a queer, black body. Exploring the complexities of relating to a culture that has yet to make room for its most marginalized members, 101 highlights the misalignment between vocal bravado and lived experience.
