Kinetic Type rendition of the powerful Langston Hughes poem.
Concept
In 2018, when this project was conceived, it was haunting to us that some of the same things that Mr. Hughes was experiencing in 1951 were still unchanged 70 years later. We wanted to express in a modern way, the enduring suffering and power behind these words. We hope they help us to have more empathy towards one another.
"...or does it explode?"
