| After Mistic: A poetry manuscript that focuses on slavery in Massachusetts and New York | ||
| Contraband: Visual pieces that explore how the industry of slavery laid the blueprint for drug crimes, gang culture, and mass incarceration in Black communities | ||
| A series of artworks that demonstrate at their core a respect for the natural world in ages past | ||
| Complex Harmony: Music, Walt Whitman, and the Railroads | My research residency confirmed again how the direct, unfiltered experience of examining an artifact creates a moment of connection, empathy, wonderment and expansion similar to the moments of shared experience in a live performance. A chance for a fuller narrative opens up, independent of interpretive trends, making way for me as a dramatist to offer general audiences new emotional, creative identifications and understandings, experienced through the electricity of shared discovery. |
