Club Program, 1:00 PM

Documentarian, Nik Heft will present The Negro Artist based on Caleb Rainey. If you’ve met Caleb Rainey, you understand why his poetry is nothing less than essential. This documentary follows Rainey's story as a spoken word poet with artistic roots in eastern Iowa. His poetry and community service efforts are bolstering the arts across the state of Iowa and the greater Midwest—a Black voice that demands to be heard amidst often-overlooked spaces. As we dive into Rainey's world, we see a profound exploration of race, identity, and the lived realities of systemic inequality. His work challenges us to confront uncomfortable truths and inspires us to envision a more equitable future. By sharing Rainey’s story, we hope to provide a window into the transformative potential of poetry and to affirm the significance of every voice in the ongoing quest for justice and understanding.
