Vanessa Charlot will speak about Am I Next?—part of her ongoing documentary series to capture both the Black Lives Matter movement and everyday life in St. Louis, Missouri. Through images of a generation of men long steeped in the soundtrack of protest and the poetics of mourning and caught in an arduous, unending procession of grief, Charlot’s work illuminates the larger generational impact of racial injustice upon the Black male body in America. Charlot will be in conversation with Brianna Chandler, youth activist and organizer from St. Louis, Missouri who works with Sunrise St. Louis, a youth-led organization focused on Black and indigenous liberation. The conversation will be hosted by Grace Aneiza Ali, curator of On Protest and Mourning.
