Saturday Morning at the ‘Shop, follows a young boy who spends the day at his local barbershop and discovers the important role it plays in Black culture and community.
It’s Saturday morning. We hop in the car. Mom’s heading to work, and I’m geeked to go spend the day at the ’shop!
The barbershop is a sound booth, an art gallery, a playground, a classroom, and so much more. It’s a place for artistry and comradery and, most importantly, community. We spend the day with a youngster who experiences all the style and wisdom and joy at the ’shop!
