FREE BUTTONS FOR THE FIRST 100 SPACE TRAVELERS***
In the year 2020, creatives, artists and activists established their own galaxy, far far away from Planet Earth and The Rona; a virus attacking the land.
Since the inaugural Black in Space: A Virtual Black Pride Experience, The Black in Space Star Crew has been traveling through the skies creating out of this world experiences.
The Muvaship is returning to Planet Earth on Sunday, May 29, 2022 to take our beloved stargazers, afronauts and archandroids back to space.
Secure your boarding pass and travel with Black in Space through the skies on a Fantastic Voyage filled with visual vibes, musical menageries and out of this world ear candy.
*Masks are required for this experience regardless of vaccination status.
**Proof of vaccination OR negative COVID-19 test required to board The Muvaship
This experience will be ASL interpreted.
Email us at hello@makerslabdc.co, if you require any accommodations i.e. ASL interpretation, wheelchair access, etc. Your experience at this event is important to us!
