Sink In: A Meditation


Listen Later

As a material element in the origin story of Black Americans, the ocean, and water more broadly, holds psychic and spiritual dimensions of both suffering and survival. Settle and sink in with artist and writer Angela Hennessy for a restorative meditation returning to the edge of the sea.
Angela Hennessy is an Oakland-based artist and survivor of gun violence. Tending to themes of loss and liberation, her work draws upon mourning practices that activate hair as a material exchanged between the living and the dead.

Hennessy is an associate professor at California College of the Arts, where she teaches courses on visual and cultural narratives of death in contemporary art.
