Across three decades, Jafa has developed a dynamic practice comprising films, artefacts and happenings that reference and question the universal and specific articulations of Black being. Underscoring the many facets of Jafa’s practice is a recurring question: how can visual media, such as objects, static and moving images, transmit the equivalent “power, beauty and alienation” embedded within forms of Black music in US culture? Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa is an artist, an arts writer, and Graduate Program Director of the photography MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design. His work is on view in the exhibition Greater New York 2021, MoMA PS1, and his most recent book, Dark Mirrors, was released by MACK in Winter 2021.
