ABOUT THE FILM

Visionary artist Rashaad Newsome has always been on the cutting edge, eluding nearly every label, as he creates incredible works of multidisciplinary art. With a group of diverse artists, performers and collaborators (including a non-binary AI named Being), he transforms a former military armory into a utopian dream.

Art and performance meet at New York’s Park Avenue Armory. As Newsome notes, this one time “bastion of white military power” is turned on its head and into an exuberant celebration of Black and queer culture. At once a vision of intergenerational resilience, a raucous display of human expression and liberation, and a mind-blowing dive into the soul of Being, an AI character whose emotional complexity will surprise you, Assembly is truly like nothing you will ever see, and nothing you’ll ever forget.
