BLACK APPEAL

2019



BLACK APPEAL is a call to action; to identify and to challenge a predetermined understanding of the Black Diasporic experience. Through painting, sculpture, audio, video and performance; BLACK APPEAL is an attempt to dissect, discuss and delineate the vastness of generational trauma and triumph that manifest as ‘Black Culture’. The ensemble exploration was first presented at CalArts in 2019 and featured works from Tru, Terry Wayne Jr., Emara Vonae, Daylyt and More.
