The film’s narrative focuses on the life of poet Langston Hughes and his relationship to fellow Harlem Renaissance artists. Its focus on a Black, Queer experience within the American cultural landscape retains its urgency and relevance.

This screening is a rare opportunity to see Isaac Julien’s celebrated film in its original 16mm format.

Following the screening the artist will be in conversation with Tate curator Zoe Whitley.Image credit: Isaac Julien Pas de Deux with Roses (Looking for Langston Vintage Series) 1989/2016
