Stephanie Dinkins Featured in 2021 Sundance Film Festival

Department of Art Associate Professor Stephanie Dinkins is the lead artist on SECRET GARDEN, a project featured in the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.

Step into a garden and encounter oral histories spanning generations of African American women. As you wander this spatialized tract, you will encounter women with stories to tell: surviving a slave boat, growing up on a 1920s Black-owned farm, surviving 9/11, and embodying an AI powered by African American women. Secret Garden reminds us that sharing and receiving stories is an act of resistance.
