Transcendance
2022
WASHINGTON, D.C.
As the recipient of the Smithsonian Artist Residency Fellowship, Pinder had access to the National Museum of African American History and Culture’s Great Migration Home Movie Archives. This collection beautifully encapsulates eighty years of family memories and images. Over the last year, Pinder and his team have scoured the collection to find intimate moments that resonate with the Black experience from decades past. Focusing on dance and movement, the video artwork captures a series of lyrical moments that transition intensely into something dark and spiritual.
