Unity As Fragile As A Spark - June 2021

Digital Collaboration with Lauren Fields and VOICES 21C 
Poetry: "Smoking Car: After Frances Ellen Watkins Harper" by Lauren Fields  
Creative Facilitation, Audio Production, and Video Design: Michael Genese 

The eight minute work explores several interconnected themes, among which the idea of being simultaneously bound to something, while also being bound for something else. Body hierarchy, racism, and modern manifestations of slavery and segregation such as mass-incarceration and American policing, together paint an intersectional picture of “progress that isn’t really progress” that we must reconcile with as a nation.
In collabortion with Sister Cities Girl Choir, VOICES 21C worked to facilitate and produce, "When I Sing...". More information on this collaboration available in the When I Sing concert program book.
