Black Like Me: An Exploration of the Word Nigger is a multidisciplinary work by Jade Solomon Curtis that explores the reverb of a single word in a global community. It considers the effects of the word nigger, all its permutations, its history, and its casual use in Hip Hop culture. In collaboration with two of America’s leading Black media-design technologists and local activists, it asks if it is possible to redefine a word that was intended to belittle a people. Black Like Me combines physical, verbal, visual and sonic language to tell five narratives and perspectives in a unique way.
