Crenshaw Dairy Mart Presents “Black August”

Co-directed by Davis and Sabaah Folayan Whose Streets? will be streamed to the public six years after the murder of Michael Brown by officer Darren Wilson, which sparked the movement in Ferguson, MO. The film sheds light on the repeated violence against Black neighborhoods, following the history of Black resistances that have occurred in the month of August—like the Haitian Revolution, March on Washington, and the Nat Turner Rebellion—thus earning the title “Black August.”

Concurrently, Davis has curated a selection of artworks in an exhibition including pieces like Walker’s Covered in Crowns from the “We Matter” series, an untitled work from Everett’s “Redoubled/Something We Carry” works, and Ogbara’s stoneware and glitter creation All That Glitters Ain’t Gold.

Davis will also be conducting a series of talks with each artist throughout the weekend live on Crenshaw Dairy Mart’s Instagram.
