Homegrown: Future Visions is a regional short film initiative with its first series “Future Visions” centering on filmmakers of color from the American Midwest and on narratives that illuminate the living histories, cultures, and future visions of the region.
The series includes the Silsilad by New Albany, Ohio and Minneapolis filmmaker Tariq Tarey.
Silsilad (Sequence) is the story of three Somali-American artists, founders of the Soomaal House of Art, a Minneapolis-based artists collective, and the challenges they face in running a community-based gallery for BIPOC artists and communities.
