The Seattle Project: Chapters

The Seattle Project presents Chapters, a live dance performance, and a film showcase featuring film, home video, poetry, music, and photography. Chapters will focus on five black femmes; Akoiya Harris, Ashton Edwards, Nia-Amina Minor, Amanda Morgan, and Kenya Shakoor – highlighting previous chapters of their lives, and their current chapter. This new full-length explores ancestry and upbringing along with the intersections of Blackness and femininity.

The Seattle Project is a platform for and a network of interdisciplinary artists collaborating to create new work and dance that is accessible to the community and uplifts BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists. The Seattle Project’s mission is to build connections among creators within and across disciplines, highlight local diverse artists, and provide equitable community access to movement-based performance.

The photography and cinematography for Chapters were made possible by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.
