NextNOW Fest: Jefferson Pinder: Prowl

This seven-minute video summarizes a 90-minute performance during which Pinder provoked layers of surveillance by having black and brown performers drive slowly through Mount Greenwood, Chicago, where many Chicago police officers live. As the drivers observed the neighborhood, uniformed police surveilled the black and brown performers as they quietly circled the neighborhood in a caravan of twenty vehicles while the hostile community watched. Tensions rose as police and residents sought to gain control over the situation.
