Upcoming Events

Join the Charles Allis Art Museum, The Friends of the Charles Allis, and Ellenbecker Investment Group in welcoming Salim Amin, Nairobi-based filmmaker and son of internationally acclaimed African documentarian Mohamed Amin, and Chip Duncan, Milwaukee's own award-winning filmmaker/photographer for a special reception and film screening.

This event is intended to foster conversation and learning about why these two award-winning storytellers from disparate countries share a common mission: to help soften barriers to thoughtful exchange. 

Following a social hour, guests will be treated to a screening of Mo & Me. In the 90-minute documentary, Salim, son and only child of Mohamed "Mo" Amin, undertakes a journey of recollection and reflection into the life of his father -- the most renowned photojournalist of his era.

Brad Pruitt, executive director of America's Black Holocaust Museum, will moderate a discussion with Salim and Chip following the film.

7:00-8:30 p.m. Screening of Mo & Me
8:30-8:45 p.m. Intermission
9:00-9:30 p.m. Moderated Q&A with Salim and Chip

Guests are eligible to enter a raffle to win a copy of Chip's newly released book, "Inspiring Change: The Photographic Journey of Chip Duncan."
