Open Stu: Juneteenth Edition Saturday, June 20, 2026, 7-11 PM Hayti Heritage Center, Free, Open to all Open Stu is a living documentary project born right here in Durham. Co-created by artists Derrick Beasley and Marcella Zigbuo Camara, it's a space to cultivate and document Black creative community — rooted in the tradition of Scurlock's studio portraiture, the Kamoinge Collective, and the pop-up gatherings of the Harlem Renaissance. On Juneteenth, it comes home to Hayti. Come sit for a portrait with Derrick. Explore archival ephemera curated by Marcella. Let the DJ move you. Grab a drink. Stay a while. This is your invitation to be seen, documented, and celebrated — right where you belong. Free and open to all.
