Keep At It
Celebrating and Centering Black Spaces, memory, joy, flexing, the fluidity and deconstruction of gender and so much more "Keep at It" takes on a life of its own. As NIC playfully explores different forms of physical Black expression, they give new light and appreciation to the fruit of Black spaces. A handball court in Brooklyn becomes the backdrop of a sharp Trap music video. Here, the projects receive homage, not disdain. Each moment, swells into layered and subtle messages meant to keep us guessing until then.
This video was featured in part of NIC Kay's #blackpeopledancingontheinternet residency at the New Museum in June 2021.
