The Great BE is a reoccurring showcase of performance and video work by artists from the African diaspora, organized by Samantha CC. It stands for The Great Black Expanse. The project acts as a space where artists are encouraged to defy the stereotypes and expectations that the art world and the world in general place on black people and black artists. They can put blackness at the center of their work, or not. Each show has a different theme that the participants respond to. The Outpost show will be themed around Abundance, where artists show work that envisions their ideal world, or the conditions under which they would thrive.

This iteration of The Great BE will feature the following artists:

Anais Maviel
Tara-Jo Tashna
Kellian Delice
Jehoiakim
Elan Fraser
Karmenife X
Samantha CC

Advanced Tickets: $10
Door Tickets: $12

Additionally, The Great BE also publishes a zine featuring writing and 2D visual art.
