BLACK LOVE Classics Series - "Fast Colors" attachment

In 2022, Tampa Theatre’s Black Love classic movie series was created in collaboration with the City of Tampa’s Community Engagement & Partnerships Department to celebrate the intersection of Valentine’s Day and Black History Month with big-screen stories of romance as told by Black filmmakers and diverse casts. Now, the series is loving a new genre: Blerds. Shorthand for “black nerds,” blerd culture celebrates those heroes – both “super” and everyday – who stir the imagination and spark creativity. This year’s Black Love classics series, presented by Tampa Electric (TECO), reflects Tampa Theatre’s commitment to representation and the magic of the movies with “Rise of the Blerds” every Sunday in February. 

Guests are invited to come early to meet some of Tampa’s Blerd community and join in a conversation about centuries-old stereotypes, pop culture, and claiming their space, starting at 2pm in the lobby.
