2020 has brought to a nexus social, economic, and political injustice and oppression with conscious social change. Is it real? Is it fleeting?
In a special Art on the Line, Busboys and Poets presents Billy Colbert's Reverberations from the Feint.
A special post-election art event, Reverberations from the Feint is a film premier, studio visit, live artist talk and discussion by multidisciplinary artist, Billy Colbert.
Feints are maneuvers designed to distract from the real place or point of an attack. Are we really in a cultural awakening rooted in conscious social change or is this all part of a feint?
As a collector of cultural memories, Billy explores these complexities and compounded struggles that are the residue of the feint. Casual conversations along with recent and found footage weave a non-linear narrative of Black American lives over seventy years of struggle, resilience and change. Time and place blur as moving images and fluctuating audio overlap, telling a singular story of family and community uncorrupted by the discriminatory lens of whiteness and commercialism.
Come join us for this transformative experience.
