Camille A. Brown, in collaboration with dramaturg Kamilah Forbes and a team of musicians and designers, creates and celebrates Black Girl, a new multimedia work that depicts the joys and complexities of carving out a positive identity as a young, Black female in urban American culture. Inspired by Toni Morrison's book The Blues Eye and imagery from Alice in Wonderland, the work seeks to inspire dialogue about the nuanced prejudices that can exist within communities and to challenge the contemporary notions of Eurocentric beauty.
