More About

In Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’s documentary film The Black List Project, comedian Chris Rock says, “Blacklist? Doesn’t ‘blacklist’ mean people on a list who don’t work anymore? Who get treated like…black people?” Rock is just one of some 25 prominent African Americans who discuss their life experiences in the film, though not all of them match Rock’s poignant sense of humor. Luminaries such as Colin Powell, Toni Morrison, John Legend, Maya Rudolph and Al Sharpton (who famously says, “I’m not the ambulance chaser; I’m the ambulance”) all appear in the three-volume film; many of them also appear in “The Black List Project, Volumes 2 and 3, Portraits by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders,” the accompanying art exhibit made up of large-scale photographs. There’s an opening reception for the exhibition, with Greenfield-Sanders in attendance, from 6 to 8 p.m., February 3. Regular viewing hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Through February 25. The film screens at 7 p.m. February 11. Rice University, 6100 Main.

Mondays-Fridays, 7 p.m. Starts: Feb. 3. Continues through Feb. 25, 2011
