This video, is an aspect of the exhibition “The Alchemy of Black Joy” by Peter Cooper running at National Black Theatre. Black Joy in particular, is the process of turning an oppressive emotion into one that lifts us instead of chains us, feeds us instead of draining us, challenges us instead of defeating us; an exploration of the Spirit of liberation; “undead, unchained, and fearless”. Black Joy dances in the face of armed officers, sings in the presence of death, and shouts down systems of terror. The pursuit of Black Joy is the science, secret and mystery to our Soul. It is our alchemy – it is our birthright.
