HUBRI$ by Kokayi

HUBRI$ documents the experience of black masculinity mediated through the lens of the story of Icarus and Daedalus. At its nexus, the work is an amalgamation of themes that directly confront; the prison industrial complex, escapism, recidivism, depression, suicide, death, and reincarnation while also examining society’s obsession with mediocrity, relationship to celebrity, an era of shame and the way in which black men are asked to dream. The HUBRI$ album is 1/3 of a multimedia exhibit that pairs each song with portraiture and cinemagraph, culminating in a film that questions how we dream,
