brandon king is a dj/sound-selector, multidisciplinary artist, from the Atlantic Ocean by way of Hampton Roads VA. his Queens College MFA Thesis show, sankofa ripples freedom fancy, is an exploration of the various dimensions of time, labor, ecology, myth, and the afterlives of enslavement. Creating installations exploring African diasporic identities, brandon’s intention is to honor his ancestors’ stories, through archival and found materials, sound collages, painting, film, sculpture and other forms. his sound project subt.le is interested in taking people on audio-visual journeys, complimenting and juxtaposing sonic vibrations within a curated and cultivated physical space. In making, his labor is dedicated to enabling expansiveness and time-travel, conjuring pathways through an unrepressed spectrum of joy and despair. brandon aims to honor his ancestors that comfort him from those vast waters yet rages against opaque space-time constricts that he exists within and produces from. His practice generates pathways to acknowledge and alchemize harms committed to disrupt despair, rewriting h(is)tory, honoring the present, while aiming to earn the respect of future generations by equipping them with translatable artifacts that can act as a compass for the coming world.
