Revisiting Aaron Abernathy's 'Dialogue'
As it was in 2017, Aaron Abernathy's Dialogue is a call to resistance and revolution. Revolution for people of color. Revolution for marginalized and oppressed communities here in America. Revolution that is is now playing out in the streets across our nation.
In solidarity with those protests and, more importantly, to not just celebrate the art of people of color but make space for their voices and stories, we've "remixed" our 2017 conversation with "Ab" about the creation of Dialogue, the state of existing while black, and more.
