Morningside After Dark kicked off a space-themed program—and its fifth season with EMC—with a packed house in the church basement on Jan. 30. Fittingly, the first featured storyteller was Dr. Duchess Harris, author of Hidden Human Computers: The Black Women of NASA — a book that helps tell the story shared in the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures.
Other performers exploring the theme included Humans of Minneapolis founder Stephanie Glaros, actor Remy Auberjonois, singer Sheila Raye Charles, poet Lester Batiste, Star Tribune writer Aimee Blanchette, singer Mayyadda, and many others.
In between performers, attendees indulged in treats from a pop-up s’mores bar, courtesy of North Mallow, plus Caribou coffee. Additionally, YogaFit Linden Hills, 2017 sponsor of the popular live-music-and-storytelling event, gave away free yoga passes. Photos courtesy of Dave Biljan
