As cities gentrify, what tactics are black artists and communities using to fight back against displacement and the narrative that their neighborhoods are broken until "saved" by white gentrification? How do artists and activists reaffirm, reclaim, and rewrite the narrative of the city and make spaces that serve their own needs. These films and the panel discussion work to shift the perspective of gaze, make space for voices often unheard, and pay tribute to those who used to live in these spaces, and the resilience of those who carry on.
