This event will take place on Zoom during the last hour of The Black Index on view at the Leubsdorf Gallery at Hunter College. HCAG will also live-stream the sound bath in the Leubsdorf Gallery for those who would like to gather together to experience the sound bath in the gallery. Space is limited for the gallery’s live stream, so please register in advance.

KACH Studio: Sonic Retrieval will offer a sound bath that focuses on grieving in the midst of the pandemic in relation to the traveling exhibition The Black Index’s final journey to Hunter College. Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle’s work on view in the exhibition, The Evanesced: The Untouchables, features 100 un-portraits of disappeared Black femmes created in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. She will be offering a ritual not only to close the exhibition but also to create a sonic space for processing grief. Hinkle will be using a Dark Water and Dusk Gong as well as crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, rattles, and various instruments to offer a virtual experience. Those who want to contemplate the impact of Black death historically and presently can participate via cultivating deep listening as a form of witnessing and inner retrieval.
