Clothing drop-off will take place on March 17th from 4 - 8pm, giving us time to sort and organize donations. We will accept gently worn t-shirts, shoes, socks, pants, shorts, sweaters, and light jackets.
On March 21st, we invite members of our community to come and take what they need. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
Mmanwu Animatic Screening
Join us at ZOMA House for an animatic screening of ZOMA Studios' MMANWU followed by a discussion with the film’s Writer, Director, and Producer Uzoma Ngwu.
Mmanwu is a 2D animated horror short set in modern day Nigeria. The film follows Ogechi, a Nigerian-American teenager, as she travels back to Nigeria for her grandfather's burial ceremony. However, her mourning is interrupted when she confronts an aspect of her culture she doesn’t understand; forcing her to contend with her identity as Nigerian and American.
ZOMA Studios is an animation studio telling stories from a culturally specific lens. Based in Minneapolis, the studio works with artists from all over the world.
