J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Laurent B. Chevalier and Kris Graves

Enough, is a visual tapestry delivering moving witness to the pain, beauty, resilience, outrage, wonder and verve radiating from the heart of Brooklyn; thoughtfully woven with original poetry by Dr. Jamilla Lyiscott. Chevalier masterly constructs a virtual time capsule blending insight, concept and document into testimony, chronicling the embodiment of individual and collective agency and a community focusing forward. In this book group, Laurent B. Chevalier, and publisher, Kris Graves discuss, among other things:Using one’s visual voice to advance representation and social justiceThe power of being in conversation with your workDiscerning threads and themes from existing workThe importance of image sequencing The impact of collaboration towards layering concept and strengthening contextMusic being integral to the creative practice Referenced in the episodeKris Graves ProjectsLaurent B Chevaliers’ Spotify PlaylistBlack Body: Re-reading James Baldwin’s “Stranger in the Village” by Teju Cole, The New Yorker, August 19, 2014Sharon Olds poem, For You, in text and audioSeeing in Black Project : Amplifying Black visual narratives and supporting the following organizations:Know Your Rights CampYouth Empowerment Project National Black Justice CoalitionBlack Futures LabThe Bail ProjectLaurent Chevalier Website | InstagramEngage with J.
