# Event Details - **Event Name**: Paris is Burning: A Pride/Juneteenth Movie Night & Curated Discussion - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Pride + Juneteenth screening of *Paris Is Burning* with community discussion on ballroom, chosen family, authenticity, and liberation.About this EventParis Is Burning: Pride Movie NightJoin NeuroBloom and Solar Intentions on Wednesday, June 24 from 6–8 PM for a Pride Month and Juneteenth screening of Paris Is Burning, followed by a curated community discussion led by Zebulon B Hurst, Black queer artist, organizer, and theologan.This gathering brings together a queer-affirming mental health practice and a queer-affirming sober bar to honor the Black and Brown queer communities whose creativity, survival, and cultural innovation continue to shape how we understand identity, family, healing, and freedom.Paris Is Burning is a landmark documentary centering Black and Brown queer and trans ballroom communities in 1980s New York. The film offers an intimate look at ballroom culture, chosen family, gender expression, voguing, class, beauty, performance, grief, survival, and the deep human need to be seen.Decades later, the film remains urgent.At a time when queer and trans communities, especially Black and Brown queer and trans people, continue to face political attack, cultural erasure, violence, and isolation, Paris Is Burning reminds us that authenticity is never only individual. It is communal. It is protective. It is world-building.Ballroom culture gave people language for who they were. It gave people family when family was unsafe. It gave people a stage when society denied them visibility. It created beauty inside scarcity, status inside exclusion, and belonging inside systems designed to reject them.For Pride Month and Juneteenth, this film invites us to ask deeper questions about liberation. Who gets to be seen? Who gets to be safe? Who gets to define beauty, gender, family, success, and freedom? What does it mean to create a life when the world refuses to make room for you?At NeuroBloom, we believe healing is inseparable from identity, culture, embodiment, and community. Living authentically helps liberate all of us because every person who refuses shame creates more room for others to exist.Together, we’ll explore ballroom culture, chosen family, Black and Brown queer survival, gender expression, authenticity, and the ways queer communities continue to shape collective liberation.This is a sober, affirming, community-centered movie night with free popcorn, curated discussion, and thoughtful drinks.Location: 1056 W Bryn Mawr AveDate: Wednesday, June 24Time: 6–8 PMCost: Free with RSVP https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/4adc52d0-6db4-11f1-980e-39e44e9692a8-rimg-w555-h740-dc1f2a43-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/paris-is-burning-a-pride-juneteenth-movie-night-and-curated-discussion/100001991600226891 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Entertainment, Art, Workshops, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-06-24T21:00:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Solar Intentions Non-Alcoholic Beverage Shop - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Solar Intentions Non-Alcoholic Beverage Shop - **lat**: 41.9838545 - **long**: -87.65751039999999 - **full address**: Solar Intentions Non-Alcoholic Beverage Shop, 1056 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Paris is Burning: A Pride/Juneteenth Movie Night & Curated Discussion - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/5ae6ed68079505fe04961d96dea8f0f83ef0396b018a8a13dfb329219efd75dc-rimg-w1080-h1920-dc191918-gmir.jpg?v=1781251230 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Paris is Burning: A Pride/Juneteenth Movie Night & Curated Discussion being held? - **A:** Paris is Burning: A Pride/Juneteenth Movie Night & Curated Discussion takes place on Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Solar Intentions Non-Alcoholic Beverage Shop, 1056 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Paris is Burning: A Pride/Juneteenth Movie Night & Curated Discussion? - **A:** Paris is Burning: A Pride/Juneteenth Movie Night & Curated Discussion is organized by NeuroBloom Mental Health Collective. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Paris is Burning: A Pride/Juneteenth Movie Night & Curated Discussion", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/5ae6ed68079505fe04961d96dea8f0f83ef0396b018a8a13dfb329219efd75dc-rimg-w1080-h1920-dc191918-gmir.jpg?v=1781251230", "startDate": "2026-06-24", "endDate": "2026-06-24", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/paris-is-burning-a-pride-juneteenth-movie-night-and-curated-discussion/100001991600226891", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Solar Intentions Non-Alcoholic Beverage Shop", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1056 West Bryn Mawr Avenue", "postalCode": "60660", "addressLocality": "Chicago", "addressRegion": "IL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.9838545", "longitude": "-87.65751039999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Pride + Juneteenth screening of *Paris Is Burning* with community discussion on ballroom, chosen family, authenticity, and liberation.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-05", "availabilityEnds": "2026-06-24", "validFrom": "2026-09-05", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/paris-is-burning-a-pride-juneteenth-movie-night-and-curated-discussion/100001991600226891" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/paris-is-burning-a-pride-juneteenth-movie-night-and-curated-discussion/100001991600226891", "price": 0, "name": "Donation" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "NeuroBloom Mental Health Collective", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/neurobloom-mental-health-collective/27345680", "description": "NeuroBloom Mental Health Collective is a Chicago-based therapy collective creating spaces where healing feels like reclamation instead of survival. We host community events that blur the line between mental health, culture, and collective care, because we don’t believe therapy only happens in a 50-minute appointment. It happens in rooms where people laugh, rest, reflect, learn, and remember they deserve good things.Our events center Black, immigrant, and queer communities with a focus on nervous system education, trauma-informed practice, creative expression, and mutual aid. We bring clinicians, artists, organizers, and community workers into the same room to explore what healing looks like when we stop doing it alone.If you’re looking for spaces that feel alive, culturally fluent, politically awake, and clinically rigorous, you’re in the right place. We’re building a future where mental health is public health and rest is not a reward, it’s a right." } ] } ] ```
