The Sun Rises in the East by Tayo Giwa is a rich and heart-felt film about how the black community in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn, New York) created the most incredible haven for self-expression, education, and additional provision called The East. The story of The East starts with the beginning of integration in Bed-Stuy after Brown v. Board of Education was passed in 1954. Despite the ruling, unfair conditions persisted for black youth and community members recognized a dire need for more enrichment. Jitu Weusi, Al Vann, and other pivotal members of the community proposed having a hub for creativity and education where needs and resources to excel in every aspect of life would be created. This institution would also celebrate the entire African diaspora and different African cultures within the continent. The Sun Rises in the East is a wonderfully enriching experience that truly magnifies what happens when great care is married with fantastic ideas to make a utopia that fostered the prosperity of an entire generation.

The first thing you'll see upon entering the gallery at Deep Space (77 Cornelison St.) is the shadow-outline of a woman's leg. There it is, on a chartreuse background, sticking straight up in the air with a curvaceous bare foot inches from the ceiling. That's all of the subject of "Lemon Lime Toe of God" that the oil painter Delilah Ray Miske is willing to show us. The rest of the body, she implies, is splayed out on a bed. We know it's summer because the window is closed and the air conditioner is plugged in. There's a pretty good chance that the possessor of the leg is undressed. In one hand, she holds a cellphone, and she might be broadcasting something. On the wall, a small whip-like broomstick hangs. It could be the ride of a tiny witch. It could be the professional tool of a dominatrix.
