Join us for a film screening followed by a conversation with exhibiting artist Noel W Anderson and a collective of Youth FX filmmakers as they discuss their collaborative new film IYKYK (2026) premiering at the University Art Museum. Breaking boundaries in documentary filmmaking, the experimental work includes archival footage remixed with original scripted scenes filmed in the UAM during the exhibition Noel W Anderson: Black Excellence.

Youth FX worked with Anderson for two semesters, leaning into an emergent, trust-based, creative process to explore new cinematic language. The film reflects their personal and shared experiences, reimagining how cinema and visual art can coexist as tools for expression, resistance, and transformation.

Noel W Anderson is an internationally recognized artist whose media include Jacquard tapestries, printmaking, and video. Based in Albany’s South End, Youth FX provides film and digital media opportunities for young people ages 10-25 from across the capital region and around the world.

Free parking will be available during the event in the State Quad Student Parking lot.

Get ready to dance! African, Caribbean, funk, reggae, and Latin grooves collide with traditional New England old-time and Celtic fiddle in the genre-defying sound of Gaslight Tinkers. Since 2012, I-Shea, Clara, Garrett, Elie, and Peter have brought their joyous, high-energy performances to clubs, dances, and festivals across the U.S. and Caribbean, blending global rhythms with a core of melody, song, and boundless positive energy. The Valley Advocate calls their music “fizzes and pops with unexpected textures and turns”—expect surprises, elation, and exuberant musicianship.

Opening the evening is Luke Concannon, former lead singer of UK No.1 chart act Nizlopi (The JCB Song), now making waves as a solo artist. His 2022 album Ecstatic Bird in the Burning debuted at No.12 on both the UK and US folk charts, showcasing the playful, heartfelt music he’s been creating since childhood.

A night of irresistible rhythms, lively melodies, and unforgettable grooves—don’t miss it!
