Vocalist and composer Imani Uzuri’s improvisational conceptual project, WILD COTTON explores the imagined, undocumented soundscapes of enslaved black American ancestors that still haunt us today.
In response to Dawoud Bey’s exhibition Night Coming Tenderly, Black, Uzuri presents a specially curated immersive presentation of WILD COTTON. This performance will sonically illuminate the underlying theme of African American resistance reflected in Bey’s series, adding a musical layer and aural context to the exhibition.
