West Barnstable, MA – Cape Cod Community College’s Tilden Arts Centre will host “Waves of Change,” a three-day arts festival beginning this Friday, featuring films adn events focused on social justice and racial equality.The festival kicks off with a performance of “Play It Again, Tim,” a comparsa created by sisters Isabella and Sophia Mangual, followed by a reception.
The festival aims to spark dialog and understanding through art, offering free events – with the exception of a Friday night concert – and providing a platform for critically important conversations. “Waves of Change” comes at a time of heightened national awareness surrounding racial justice and social equity, offering Cape Cod residents an opportunity to engage with these issues through film and performance.

Tim Miller, co-president of the Boston society of Film Critics and a film and journalism instructor at Cape Cod Community College, calls Lee’s film “the best movie I’ve ever seen about race relations and easily one of the most important.”
