The Black Constellation - Ode To Octavia Part 12: Sparkles…Recollections Of The Wraith

The Black Constellation consists of Shabazz Palaces, THEESatisfaction and artist/director Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes. “Sparkles…Recollections Of The Wraith” is Part 12 of an installation dedicated to science fiction writer Octavia Butler. The visuals are luxurious in color and combine an earthly and ethereal reality awareness much like Butler’s sci-fi narratives.

Watch this.
