AMEND BY CHRIS EMILE


ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: CHRIS EMILE
SET DESIGN: SYMRIN CHAWLA
COMMISSIONED BY: MAK CENTER, LOS ANGELES 2020


An exhibition and series of four performances by multi-disciplinary artist Chris Emile, AMEND explores Black male identity through movement, cinema, sculpture and sound. Emile employs archival & contemporary found footage with artifactual set design to re-render the modern architectural marvel that is the Schindler House into a sacred, private place: a home amenable for Black dealing and healing. An intergenerational cast of three dancers acting as one man, move the audience through the house and through time working their way through the question: who, if not me, decides what a Black man is?
