How do you celebrate a historical moment such as the inauguration of Kamala Harris? American producer Codie Elaine Oliver has partnered with several renowned artists for When We Gather, a collaborative art initiative that hopes to inspire reflection and celebration on the achievements of the vice president-elect in a time of great divide in the United States.

This multifaceted project is launched by artists María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Okwui Okpokwasili, and LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs to inspire reflection and celebration on this epoch-making day in United States history. It features a three-minute art film in which director Codie Elaine Oliver (Black Love) pays homage to "heroines of the past, visionaries of the present and leaders of the future."
