Many of its most powerful storms begin as tropical waves off the coast of West Africa before crossing the ocean toward the Caribbean. Hurricane season and Carnival unfold side by side – one a season of uncertainty, the other a season of celebration – yet both have shaped how communities across the African diaspora prepare, remember, create, and gather.In the lead-up to New York's West Indian Day Parade, Hurricane Season brings together artists, filmmakers, curators, and cultural thinkers for an evening of film, conversation, sound, and music exploring the relationship between climate, culture, and memory.What remains after a storm has passed? How do landscapes, bodies, and communities carry the memories of environmental and historical upheaval? And how do communities transform recurring uncertainty into movement, artistic expression, and collective celebration?This program was curated by gh+st with support from The Africa Center.gh+stgh+st is a multidisciplinary creative studio working across film, photography, design, art, and research. The studio is currently producing its first documentary, filmed in Grenada with an all-women creative team. The film explores hurricane season through the people, landscapes, histories, and cultural traditions of the island, tracing connections between climate, memory, and everyday life across the Caribbean. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/hurricane-season-an-evening-before-the-parade/100001998359964448 - **Event Categories**: art, entertainment, parades, carnivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: The Africa Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Africa Center - **lat**: 40.7963504 - **long**: -73.94884780000001 - **full address**: The Africa Center, 1280 5th Avenue, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Hurricane Season, An Evening Before the Parade - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/5fb6eea3552c63b1184cada049d8b1be7e1de4b65dc819c809ef0c5b52cf8602-rimg-w1200-h630-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1787717969 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Hurricane Season, An Evening Before the Parade being held? - **A:** Hurricane Season, An Evening Before the Parade takes place on Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Africa Center, 1280 5th Avenue, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Hurricane Season, An Evening Before the Parade? - **A:** Hurricane Season, An Evening Before the Parade is organized by The Africa Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
