Event Details
On July 25, the New Eyes Collective, an organization of Black cultural workers continuing the Black radical tradition of criticism, journalism, archiving, and collective resource-sharing, will host New Eyes on Greg Tate: Flyboy in the Buttermilk Revisited, an interactive series of live discussions centering a seminal 1992 essay collection from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Greg Tate. Flyboy in the Buttermilk, which received a special rerelease last month via Questlove’s publishing imprint AUWA Books, explores Blackness at the intersection of gender, politics, sexuality, and pop culture. As part of the event, which is hosted in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA), a limited number of free copies will be available for pickup on a first-come, first-served basis. MoCADA will also have newly reissued copies of Flyboy in the Buttermilk to purchase on site.
WHAT: New Eyes on Greg Tate: Flyboy in the Buttermilk Revisited
WHEN: Saturday, July 25, 2026 @ 1 – 5pm
WHERE: MoCADA Culture Lab II, 10 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn

About New Eyes Collective
New Eyes is a collective of Black cultural workers continuing the Black radical tradition of criticism, journalism, archiving, and collective resource-sharing. Individually, our members have served as journalists, authors, and editors at outlets and institutions including The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Pitchfork, Harper’s BAZAAR, The FADER, and more. We believe Blackness is not a static identity or aesthetic, but a global political condition forged through struggle, displacement, and a racialized global capitalist structure. In a media landscape that continuously pushes Black thought to the margins, we see our work as a necessary intervention. Through education, mentorship, mutual aid, public programming, and archival preservation, we aim to commemorate our forebears, amplify the work of our peers, and make material pathways for those coming after us.
This program was made possible thanks to generous support from the NYC Coalition of Theaters of Color in collaboration with NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and NYC Council, and New York State Council on the Arts.
