“The place in which I fit will not exist until I make it.”
— James Baldwin

Founder and Curator of this beautifully engaging three-week, virtual, multi-media experience. My concept for Nubian Nights was birthed through several interactions with the Jazz Urbane Cafe and the City of Boston. The free 1-hour installation integrated sound and illumination at three of the Roxbury Cultural District’s up-and-coming cultural anchors: Jazz Urbane Café in the Bruce Bolling Building, Black Market, and Nubian Gallery. Covid-19 safety protocols were in place.
