Stages of Tectonic Blackness: Blackdom

This project is composed of an ongoing series of durational performances and ritualized, elongated mourning rites choreographed and orchestrated by performers Nikesha Breeze, Miles Tokunow, Lazarus Nance Letcher and cinematographer, MK. Stages of Tectonic Blackness: Blackdom, was physically performed in November 2021 and is conceptually centered on the early 20th century Black freedom town called Blackdom. Founded in 1902 and abandoned by the mid-20’s, Blackdom was created as a “Black-utopia” focused on Black freedom, land stewardship and education.
