Free documentary screening: The Negro Artist

“The Negro Artist” is a journey into the world of Caleb Rainey, a Black spoken word poet professionally known as The Negro Artist. Rainey’s poetry is a profound exploration of race, identity, and the lived realities of systemic inequality. As part of the film experience, Rainey will perform live poetry. Following the film screening and performances, audiences can engage in an interactive Q&A with the director, Emmy Award-winning journalist and filmmaker Nik Heftman, and Rainey, exploring their personal and artistic journeys in depth.

This free film screening, sponsored by the Friends of the Coralville Public Library, will be on the big screen at the Coralville Center for the Performing Arts across the parking lot from the Coralville Public Library.
