WAXING GIBBOUS

A mixed media performance piece by Kam Franklin August 21, 2021

"A Waxing Gibbous moon falls on this day.

Black trauma can’t be everything we are gifted with in this lifetime or our future ones. Waxing Gibbous is a mixed media piece that takes place 1000 years from now in an Afrofuturistic oasis entitled, Homegirl Island. Here, blackness is safe. Blackness is protected. Blackness is celebrated. The installation is a reflection of the freedom, continued release of generational traumas, and a release of the bindings of the old world and its endless web of obstacles.

The music performed will serve as tribute to the life lost on the road to peace. " Music by Nessie Jewell Special Thanks Jose "Chapy" Luna Fresh Arts Houston DJ Elevated Nia's Daughter Movement Collective ERA Vintage Sequin Sanctuary Installation Date, August 21, 2021
