20 Voices. 1 Shared Story. A Thriving Together Atlanta Exhibit
February 28 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Join NEXT and partners NBAF, the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and MARTA on Saturday, February 28th, for an inspiring evening of art, film, and live performance at ONE Contemporary Gallery. This special gathering brings together 20 of Atlanta’s leading artists, healing practitioners, and civic leaders behind the Thriving Together Atlanta Mobile Art Experience for a collective exhibit unveiling and documentary screening titled “20 Voices. 1 Shared Story.”
The evening features live performances by vocalist Bria Anai, poet Jon Goode, movement artist KHILA, pianist Kenny Banks Jr., and sound bowl practitioner Malaika Floyd, along with a dynamic panel conversation including Atlanta Influences Everything’s Bem Joiner, BLK HLTH Co-Founder Dr. Khadijah Ameen, and health equity expert Dr. Isa Miles, alongside artists Jon Goode and Tracy Murrell.
At the heart of the event is a striking portrait series captured by photographer Iyahdae Rose and curated by Faith Carmichael, showcasing the 20 participants. Together, their stories explore the Thriving Together initiatives’ themes of art, community healing, and equity.
Guests will also experience the screening of the Thriving Together Atlanta short-form documentary, weaving movement, performance, and personal reflection into a powerful exploration of art’s role in advancing health equity.
This is more than an exhibit opening—it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and a collective conversation about how we build an Atlanta where we all thrive.
