single channel video, 5:05

2024


This video is documentation of the creative and emotional processes of participants in a workshop designed to explore the minds of Black artists. A series of emotionally provoking questions surrounding the topics of identity, safety, love, and community were given as prompts for self reflection. Throughout the question period, participants were not allowed to talk and could only respond via the materials provided. The workshop began with a relaxing breath exercise and ended off-camera with another breath exercise and decompression conversation that ensured the emotional well-being of participants. The audio in the video is excerpted from these conversations.
