DOCILE is a study on untaming, a play on light and darkness, inspired by James Baldwin’s seminal questioning Notes of a Native Son as he bridged the decision of finding freedom outside of America’s borders or returning home in the 1960s to commit himself to resistance movements. Turning towards and colliding with a vibration of freedom, this work witnesses a Black woman in a discovery of truth and a journey of release, asking “What transformation and wildness is possible in reclamation and seeing our full humanity?”
