Opening Night Celebration & Documentary Screening
February 21, 2026 • Joliet Area Historical Museum • Ages 21+
Be part of the hottest opening event in the suburbs! Rebel Music spotlights the trailblazing women of color who shaped American sound — from rock and funk to punk, soul, and beyond. Inspired by BBFF Founder Vici Howard’s nostalgic Route 66 “Sunday Drives,” this exhibition rewinds, re-listens, and restores the credit these pioneers deserve.
Opening Night Includes:
✨ Ribbon-cutting ceremony
Cash Bar
🎬 Screening of the 30-min film Rebel Music: Women of Color Who Changed the Beat
💬 Post-film discussion with Black & Brown Femme Films
From Black History Month into Women’s History Month, join the celebration of brilliance, rebellion, rhythm, and legacy. It’s grown-folk vibes, cultural pride, and a museum night you won’t forget.
