2024 Art Meets Activism | (Louisville) $5,000 to produce “The People Could Fly,” a poetic documentary rooted in principles of liberation and freedom about the history of Black gathering spaces in Louisville from the 1960’s to mid-2000’s. Using archival footage, still photos, newsreel, and newly shot material, the project will explore the history of a segregated Louisville and Black resistance through the ritual of roller skating and how roller rinks emerged as sanctuaries for Black culture.
