NextNOW Fest: A Container of Breath by Justin Randolph Thompson in collaboration with Bradly Dever Treadaway and Jason Thompson

ABOUT THE EVENT

A Container of Breath is a film projection and participatory performance dedicated to geoscientist, jazz musician, Tuskegee Airman and advocate for Black Studies, Randolph Bromery (1926-2003). The piece engages fleeting forms of commemoration and legacy maintenance. An experimental documentary film with a live sound score is the backdrop for oversized amplified cornhole boards which transform the space into one of recreational gathering.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Television Delivers People, produced with Carlota Schoolman, focuses on the political import of broadcasting as corporate monopoly and imperialism of the air.
