Writer-filmmaker Thuto Durkac-Somo, choreographer-scholar Jonathan González, and cultural practice architect Mario Gooden are in residence to develop a performance and video work exploring the spatial practices of Black liberation on bodily, architectural, and cosmological scales. During their time at EMPAC, the artists will shoot new video material and bring their collaboration into three-dimensional form. Their developing project is shared publicly in April 2026.
