The Great Migration Project is a series of exploratory audio and video works that celebrates the historic passage of African Americans to the North. A nationally renowned team of artists – Julie Dash, Kevin Jerome Everson, Lonnie Graham, Tina Morton and Mendi+Keith Obadike – will explore five institutions that were created or reformed during the period of the first Great Migration. The five media artworks commissioned by Scribe Video Center reveal the ties between the agricultural world the migrants left behind and the new industrial world they helped create.
