A collective-oriented film underscoring the group’s many talents into a cohesive offering: The core value of the film is in the collaborative effort of its members. Where the individual’s skillset(s) translates into collective accomplishment. A recollection of the group’s genesis: Shot in black and white and in color, this film makes a distinction of the time periods of WESHHH. The Collective - in non-linear fashion. Highlighting community centers/third spaces as necessary placeholders in our neighborhoods: WESHHH. The Collective was born out of our frequent gatherings at Make Manifest BK. A shop and community center, with a gallery in the
heart of Bed-Stuy.
Why WESHHH?
To serve one another - an active support system:
Ensuring that with the responsibility of members, each member shall achieve whatthey will. Therefore, granting advancement to the unit and its parts - collectively and
individually.
