Assembly follows visionary artist Rashaad Newsome as he transforms a historic military facility into a Black queer utopia, blending art, AI, and performance. Through stunning visuals and deeply personal stories, Assembly captures the transformative power of creativity as a fractured community comes together to find strength, solidarity, and liberation.
