fawns of the city

Overview

Combining poetry and dance in one brief, intense moment, local artist Otis Mensah and performer Jamal Sterrett have created a unique and evocative visual poem that speaks of racial fragmentation, diasporic-bonding, and friendship amidst the noise of disconnected identities. Reclaiming notions of Blackness in a pursuit of personal liberation, this is both a challenging and joyful piece that creates its own Black mythology.
