SECCA Presents Inside Out with artist Kianga Ford and the music of Turbo Pro Project
August 5 - 6 pm - The Garage - Winston-Salem
As part of its 2009 public art program Inside Out: Artists in the Community II, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) is proud to launch Kianga Ford’s 34 x 52 x 40. In the next chapter of Ford’s ongoing The Story of this Place series, the title of this project refers to Forsyth County as the 34th County of North Carolina (in slang, the “Tres-Fo”) and its evolving relationship with the major North / South highway (52) and the major East / West highway (40) of Winston-Salem. In conjunction with the National Black Theatre Festival, and in ongoing partnership with the Delta Arts Center, the special August 5th launch event will celebrate the work’s provocative marriage of theatre, music, and spoken word. Over the past half-year, Ford has explored Winston-Salem to research its history, speak with members of the community, walk its neighborhoods, and imagine lives shaped by the city’s patterns of settlement, desegregation, and industrialization. She will shape this material into a series of audio-guided routes/walks, and on Wednesday night audiences can hear a selection of these narratives set to musical accompaniment. As part of 34 x 52 x 40, Ford has collaborated with the experimental, North Carolina-based band The Turbo Pro Project, described as a fusion of Americana, Bluegrass Banjo, Hip Hop, and R&B.
