Quinn Bedingfield fell in love with music at the early age of nine and four years later he began producing beats of all genres and in particular, Hip Hop. He started creating beats for other Artists and has served scores of Artists by creating beats they enjoy. In 2020, when the Pandemic hit, Aurah, an "Old School" Hip Hop Artist was born. Aurah writes his own music and is very passionate about creating the appropriate beats. He channels his ADHD into his music and, like many musicians, is a perfectionist.
Mourning Discourse
Mourning Discourse
Defines the everyday blackness in America since the enslaved landed upon these shores. Although the media has been drawing attention to the senseless murders of unarmed black men and boys somewhere in this narrative the dehumanizing and patriarchal acts enforced upon black women can become seated in the back of our minds as a moment.
Breonna's murderers still haven't been held accountable. The murders of countless other black women killed by no knock warrants, or police shootings unresolved.
Neither have the countless rapes and stereotypical pressures placed upon our bodies forced us to create an added layer to our (black women) skin giving us no permission to be anything less than strong.
In this mourning it is my hope that through performative discourse layers of historical suppression are peeled back and the audience analyzes the silent gaze that watches the black female body negotiate such structural violence.
Mourning Discourse is a collaboration of performance, sound, and installation art. The performance/dance is choreographed by Kay Harris (a former Alvin Ailey dancer) and her daughter Nya Harris (Kennedy Center dancer). Both sound and installation are created by artist Nikki Brooks.
