Sadie Barnette, “The New Eagle Creek Saloon,” 2022,

Organized in conjunction with The Studio Museum in Harlem, The New Eagle Creek Saloon presents Sadie Barnette’s fluorescent recreation of the San Francisco gay bar that her father, founder of the Compton chapter of the Black Panther Party, operated in the early 1990s.

On select Saturdays, the architectural installation is activated by DJs invited by queer scholar and artist madison moore as part of The Kitchen’s new nightlife and club culture residency; visitors are invited to dance, an homage to queer Black spaces past and present.
