While engaging hip-hop as an entry point, my Remix the Narrative series addresses the story of Black Americans and their cultural responses that inspire and influence their resistance to man-made obstacles, whether physical, economical, or psychological. Using repeated and remixed images of a young Black man of the hip-hop generation, the viewer is approached by a thought-provoking multi-dimensional character and historical references that link the past to the present.
