Notes from VEGA | Black Hole

SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 2021, 12-5 PM

A.J. McClenon’s residency concludes at The Nicholson Project with Notes from VEGA | Black Hole; an outdoor public, participatory program. Based on the ongoing project VEGA, DC-native artist A.J. McClenon invites the DC community to step into an alternate reality and reimagine what Black life could be in the distant future. 

An interdisciplinary artist, McClenon weaves together performances, writing, video, and mixed-media drawings, collages and objects to share this story. In Notes from VEGA, we are invited to take a glimpse at the resilience of Black people and their ability to adapt and evolve in any circumstance. When the earth is no longer able to sustain their livelihoods and options are limited, they return to water—the source of life.
