IN THE NAME OF: In Process

BDAC’s Jupiter Performance Studio is developing In The Name Of… set for a 2022 world Premiere and tour. Hi-Arts has archived a component of the development process, originally commissioned by The Shed and receiving a new works commission from the Apollo Theater. At Hi-Arts, Ebony was in residency as the inaugural Sky Lab artist in residence in the spring and summer of 2020.

On Tuesday, September 1, 2020, 6:00 pm ET, Hi-Arts hosted our first SKY LAB Artist in Residence Ebony Noelle Golden in conversation with Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs, moderated by the Hi-ARTS Curator in Residence Kirya Traber.

Inspired by Black Eco-feminists such as June Jordan and Gumbs, “In The Name Of,” a new interdisciplinary work-in-progress by Golden, engages Harlem as a uniquely charged site for activating Black feminist cosmologies. Alexis and Ebony discussed the legacy of this critical work, and how it might reveal a roadmap for collective liberation.

Social distance during the pandemic has forced many artists to halt their plans for new work in 2020. With the support of Hi-ARTS' newest residency program, SKY LAB, Golden invites us to see virtual art making as a means to deepen our commitment to Black feminist values through artistic practice.
