      note = {Based on a community-based, ongoing, non-visual conceptual  art exhibition/experience the first iteration of which was  performed at the CORE Gallery in Seattle in January 2018.  "Instead of the visual arts exhibition many were expecting,  upon arrival, blindfolded guests entered a pitch-black  space, and docent Ayanna Hobson - a nationally recorded  vocalist - led them through a sonic web of the collected  voiced combined wirth her own exquisitely beautiful one."  --Page 12. Explains the artist-curator Natasha Marin:  ""Black people are not experiencing the black imagination,.  Our lives have been colonized by white imagination.'We are  like pawns in the white imagination, whereas in the black  imagination we are creators, we're gods, we can invent  entire worlds, universes, philosophies, ways of relating to  one another. We can explore us,' she said. That exploration  is at the center of 'Black Imagination: The States of  Matter,' a multimedia arts exploration curated by Marin and  fellow artists Imani Sims, Rachael Ferguson and Amber  Flame. The exhibit features the work of dozens of  black-identified creative people working across  disciplines. The participants were asked three questions  that form the seeds from which 'Black Imagination' blooms:  What is your origin story? How do you heal yourself?  Describe or imagine a world where you are safe, valued and  loved." --Adapted from book text and artist statement in  the Seattle Globalist.},
