Art21: Arthur Jafa – Sequencing the Notes
Documentary
Director's Choice • 2026
10 min
New York, NY, USA
Throughout his practice, artist Arthur Jafa appropriates materials mined from the entirety of American culture, ranging from iconic films and photographs to videos posted on social media, sequencing and juxtaposing them to reveal qualities, connections, and absences that otherwise remain unseen. We watch Jafa explore the rich landscape of Black cultural production by identifying and utilizing Black methodologies and aesthetics, uncovering the nuances of Black identity.
