This piece pays homage to the holy trinity of Sunday activities — Second lines, Super Sunday, & worship — and how they speak to and inform one another. In Central City specifically, it’s impossible to not feel the legacies of these traditions grounding the human spirit. They are the roots and threads that grew and sustain an atmosphere of community in the neighborhood.
Witnessing visible shifts in the neighborhood over the last decade, this work was motivated by a desire for us to raise more critical questions about what we sacrifice in the pursuit of "growth" and consider the roles we must play in the preservation of cultural and social infrastructure. Mirrors in the work encourage reflection of our place within our city's changing landscape.
