Juneteenth Celebration

Our Juneteenth Creative Arts Celebration at BRIC in downtown Brooklyn was special. The gathering stirred memory, sparked imagination, and deepened our commitment to freedom — not just as a historical moment, but as something we live, breathe, and continue to build together. Check out the photos below from the event!

Brownstone Sessions: Where the Mic Drops

Where the Mic Drops is Kinetic’s Open Mic & Mixer series—convened in a Brooklyn brownstone, it is an intimate, curated gathering where art moves beyond performance. Each event brings together an open mic, a featured performing artist, and a conversation with an invited creative in a space designed for intentional connection—so art can do what it does best: tell the truth, deepen community, and shape culture. Check out the photos below from the latest Where the Mic Drops.
