Solange Announces New Digital Piece at London’s Tate Modern
Solange has announced a new digital piece on black womanhood and identity, to be displayed at London’s Tate Modern. “Seventy States” comes as part of the museum’s special exhibit “Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power,” showing until October 22. An interactive online version of Solange’s piece is available here. Solange’s contribution draws together unreleased performance pieces and themes she’s touched on in the music videos for “Cranes in the Sky” and “Don’t Touch my Hair,” from A Seat At the Table, and her standalone “We Sleep In Our Clothes.” Directed by Alan Del Rio Ortiz, the digital piece was made in conjunction with Carlota Guerra, and features an installation by Ricardo Basbaum.
“I wanted to create a specific scenography through movement and landscape to communicate my states of process through this record,” Solange said in a press release. “I decided to do this through a visual language.”
