About
Vocalist, composer, and writer Somi forges new ground with this experimental short film exploring the spiritual consequence of the global pandemic on creative practice. Partially narrated by Somiโs mother, this meditative film blends spoken word, art song, and movement with deconstructed concert recordings from Somiโs new live album. The piece 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.
Co-presented by Baryshnikov Arts Center, Krannert Center, and ArtsEmerson, in partnership with National Black Theatre and Salon Africana....
