in the absence of things
This meditative film registers “the emotional vibration and undemocratic fragility of cultural space and the living stage. The piece also aims to frame the disruption of otherwise quieted cultural spaces as a larger metaphor for the work most American arts institutions still need to do in service of Black storytelling.
