We Call It Ballroom
In celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, we welcome you to an evening exploring ballroom culture as a powerful force of creativity, identity, fashion, performance, and community. The evening will start off with a screening of the visual album, We Call It Ballroom (2025), followed by a conversation between director and producer Odu Adamu and Michael Roberson, co-producer and author of Ballroom: A History, A Movement, A Celebration. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. About the Event Created by Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ artists, performers, and community members, ballroom culture has roots in the Harlem Renaissance and expands far beyond its depiction in TV, music, and pop culture. Rooted in FIT’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and creative innovation, the screening and conversation will share historical context and contemporary perspectives on the legacy and ongoing evolution of the ballroom and house scene in the United States. This event is sponsored by FIT Alumni Relations. This event is free and open to the public. REGISTER ON THE FIT ALUMNI SITE
