About the work
Hear what I’m saying depicts the first conversation between parent and child about blackness, when oral histories about the 60s and 70s in rural Mississippi are exchanged to further explain the importance of the body. The crucial need to listen, and how a young mind processes body politics are expressed through an interpretation of jazz.
