Black South

2019 / Curating / Producing

Set in an underground garage, off the old kent road in south London, ‘Black South’ brought together 76 photographs and video footage taken in the state of Louisiana (USA). Mainly focused on the city of New Orleans and the Mardi Gras Indians, the exhibition and event celebrated the legacy of the afro-american southern culture to open up a dialogue on forced mass movements and identity construction.

A celebration of blackness, but also music highlighting decades of Memphis phonk, trap music, southern soul, chopped & screwed melo beats from Houston, Nola bounce without forgetting the high-life bass of the Miami sound.
