Derek Fordjour: Nightsong transforms David Kordansky Gallery into an immersive nightscape uniting painting, sculpture, live performance, and video. Visitors experience Black musical history through a four-hour songcycle, spatialized stages, and symbolic motifs. Layers of sound, light, and movement evoke survival, creativity, and memory, celebrating Black artistry while reflecting on loss, commodification, and the enduring power of voice across time.
