Also this week: "Othello" screens at Zeitgeist, Ta-coumba Aiken paintings at the Depot, Banff Mountain Film Festival at the DECC, Homegrown Winter Fiasco, maritime art at Nordic Center.
On Tuesday, Homegrown's "big venue" night featured the Gemstones paying tribute to AfroGeode, and a concluding Fenestra Funk set that inspired dozens to dance.
Well known as the leader of AfroGeode and the Gemstones, Johnson was a clinical therapist and a vocal advocate for Duluth's Black and LGBTQ communities.
AfroGeode and the Gemstones, Jaedyn James and Pink Marlena are among the acts performing Saturday at Studio Four in a show "where we can convene, gather, celebrate queer and trans joy."
