TRAVELING WHILE BLACK (TWB) is a cinematic virtual reality (VR) experience that immerses
the viewer in the long history of restriction of movement for black Americans and the creation
of safe spaces. TWB was presented free-of-charge October 8-December 30, 2019, noon-9pm,
daily by SLFS at Broadway Centre Cinemas. TWB was a 12’x12’ installation within the lobby of
the Broadway.
Academy Award® winner Roger Ross Williams and Emmy Award winning Felix & Paul Studios
crafted an extraordinary !lm that transports the viewer to historic Ben's Chili Bowl in
Washington DC. The viewer shares an intimate series of moments with several of the patrons of Ben's as they re"ect on their
experiences of restricted movement and race relations in the U.S. TWB confronts the way race is understood and discussed in America,
documents the urgent need to not only remember the past but also to learn from it, and additionally facilitates a dialogue about the
challenges minority citizens continue to face.
