Implications of Giovanni’s Room on Black Boy Queer Identity
Khalil Anthony Peebles presentation at the James Baldwin Conference at the American University of Paris. "A Language To Dwell In." This beautifully crafted film articulates Anthony's relationship with James Baldwin's 'Giovanni's Room in 8 phases, consciously beginning with a "PRINCE ROGERS NELSON" mantra said 7 times, under a purple hue. "Implications" is a well mastered analysis of how Khalil's understanding of his own sexuality is and is not defined by the main characters, David and Giovanni, in Baldwin's novel. "Implications" is an interdisciplinary masterpiece, as Anthony weaves together a succinct and lovely narrative of his innate similarities between himself and the main characters of "Giovanni's Room,' and shares his own limitations in relationship to our unique journeys into a queer identity. A Black Boy Queer Identity is a construct, creation made in congruency with the highest vibration of self. Within this commitment to self identify and "represent" we Black Queer Boys dance within a particular phrase like a Baldwin, or a Rogers Nelson. This film presents a space to gather, shake, dance, cry, and testify.... Are you #teamdavid or #teamgiovanni #giovannisroom #jamesbaldwin #khalilanthonypeebles
the longest line in berlin
A 6-part audio series, Anthony Dwight Peebles brings to life the character Frederic Leon. This time we find Frederic in Europe living his best life. As our primary protaganist, we take vicarious journeys into nightime clubland Berlin. Gritty, brutal and occassionally uncomfortable, Frederic takes us onto the unrestricted autobahn.
