A Moment In Between

2021
INTERNATIONAL
24 hour Afrofuturist Juneteenth celebration, featuring an international line up of visionary Black artists, activists, and academics. Held virtually in the COMMON Multiverse, the event featured live performances from the Currents community, five themed planets, four embedded WebXR projects from the Traveling the Interstitium series, an experiment in time traveling through past COMMONs, and the Moment In Between stage hosted by The Guild of Future Architects.

Following the event, Martha Pazienti-Caidan and I produced a retrospective of the festival for Resident Advisor’s The Exchange--the first ever two-part episode for the series.
