Soros Justice Fellow and Emmy-nominated choreographer Jeremy McQueen, founder of The Black Iris Project presents a sneak peek into his new project, WILD. A groundbreaking new feature-length dance film, WILD explores systemic racism in the juvenile justice system and the effects of isolation and imprisonment on childhood development.
This exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of WILD: Act 1 will include a discussion with McQueen and his collaborators, led by Camille Massey, J.D., Founding Executive Director of the Sorensen Center for International Peace and Justice at CUNY Law School. This special event is only open to John Jay Students, Faculty, and Staff.
Registered attendees will receive a free ticket to the premiere screening of WILD.

Lynch Theater at John Jay College, with support from The Howard Gilman Foundation, The Mertz Gilmore Foundation, Jerome Robbins Foundation, the SHS Foundation, the Harkness Foundation for Dance, and Dance/NYC’s New York City Dance Rehearsal Space Subsidy Program, made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. CDI is produced by The Kupferberg Center for the Arts at Queens College.
