Revival 24

A black-and-white film still from Revival 24 shows a blurred figure of a Black man dancing mid-motion against a black background. The man is wearing a black tank top, jeans, and a dark-colored durag.

The film’s use of repetition and movement points to an African sensibility of the spirit, rhythm and loop, affirming the concept of a circular, boundless existence — rejecting the linear narrative of beginnings and endings.
