    Thursday, July 29 (7PM) (Postponed due to inclement weather): Brooklyn poet multi-hyphenate writer and artist Cyrus Aaron—whose poetry is featured in Khadijat Oseni and Julian Alexander’s acclaimed public art project Supremacy Project, currently installed on the exterior walls of St. Ann’s Warehouse—brings the BLK HRS collective of musicians he leads back to St. Ann’s Warehouse by popular demand.

    Thursday, August 5 (7PM): Siblings Marcus Machado and Vicky Casis, aka Mach-7 Muzik, blend hip hop with rock, funk, and soul. They lead a jam session called The Cypher that convenes musicians, singers, rappers, poets, and other creatives.

    Thursday, August 12 (7PM): NAACP Image Award-nominated poet and Urban Word NYC Artistic Director Mahogany L. Browne, who is also featured in Supremacy Project and was recently named Lincoln Center’s first-ever Poet in Residence at Lincoln Center, returns to St. Ann’s with her show Mahogany L.
