“The docile Negro is a myth.

For my entire personal and professional life, I have deeply interrogated freedom.

And in those spaces of exploration, liberation existed through refusal.

Every West Indian colony, …had its settlements of maroons, bold Negroes who had fled into the wilds and organized themselves to defend their freedom.

My art is multi-disciplinary. And centers expansive Black life.

Escaping enslavement in this society requires it. (Still.)

The only place where Negroes did not revolt is in the pages of capitalist historians.”
