TKE
The Kinfolk Effect (TKE) is …
an incubation space for multimedia interdisciplinary artwork that examines the movement of Blackness through time and space. Blackness not only as identity but as queerness, as disruption, Black as in interlocutors for making, question asking, originating, value assigning and signifier. Black as the pedagogy to plot out fugitivity and resistance. Black as pathway to personal and collective healing and liberation. As James Brown says, “Black is an attitude.”
TKE co-works with communities of place, and spirit using sound, light, projection audio and video mixing and recycled materials to create environments while reanimating and reckoning with histories. We disrupt to built environments and narratives to amplify affirm communal experience and deeply examine the personal. We work to connect the conceptual and the tangible, sparking new relationships and making fresh existing connections to land, environment and each other.
