Passage of Sankofa & Nkonsonkonson (a two-part installation)

for Flux Night 2015: Dream

During the mid 1960s, the students of Spelman College played an integral role in the Civil Rights Movement by organizing and participating in the sit-ins throughout Atlanta. Inspired by this history, Passages of Sankofa utilizes the singers from the Spelman College Glee Club to perform Part One of this artwork.

Nkonsonkonson, a Ghanaian Adinkra symbol meaning unity, is the inspiration for Part Two of this artwork – a series of life-sized charcoal drawings of Civil Rights and community leaders stand together with arms linked in the backyard of the Martin Luther King, Jr. birth home.  Local and national community leaders' faces from the Instagram campaign: #strengthinunityproject were also integrated into this mural.
