An exhibition and series of four performances by multi-disciplinary artist Chris Emile, AMEND explores Black male identity through movement, cinema, sculpture and sound. Emile employs archival & contemporary found footage with artifactual set design to re-render the modern architectural marvel that is the Schindler House into a sacred, private place: a home amenable for Black dealing and healing. An intergenerational cast of three dancers acting as one man, move the audience through the house and through time working their way through the question: who, if not me, decides what a Black man is?

Presented by the Kennedy Center’s new online Couch Concert Series, multi-disciplinary artist Chris Emile presents a 30 minute solo performance accompanied by DJFM. The solo will take place in the MAK Center’s Garage Top, and will encompass the fleeting/hard hitting feelings of joy, anxiety, and unsureness that inhabit us all during these times. Following the performance by Chris Emile, meditation and movement practitioner Nkechi Njaka will be streamed with her partner Tauwoo from Northern California.
