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.
