The 1619 Project

In collaboration with We Are BMF x Conversate Collective, as talent producer I conceptualized an afro-futurism theme and activation for the premiere of Hulu’s Emmy Award winning series The 1619 Project. We fabricated a 12ft+ statue and commissioned a live painter to visualize what afro-futurism looks like in America, consistent with motifs from the series. Conversate Collective offered guests the opportunity to celebrate the undeniable contributions made to the United States by Black Americans. We brought spaces within the Academy Museum to life by integrating a variety of mediums including food, design, music, and art. Guests were presented with an exclusive screening, Q&A with show creators, and a fully immersive post-screening reception.
