A woman begins to talk about playing art. 

"Black people like art too?"

And the question: Is it exclusively Black?

Blackness is thrown around like it shouldn't exist in art.

The gold cape swings around and moves as the curly-haired woman dances on the floor.

A new person sits at the tea table.
Paint goes onto the pregnant woman's feet.

Can blackness be born?

Is it a part of culture and can therefore be created?

Black paint on a white body raises the question:
Black is just a color, right?

A sign on the white fabric says: Black is red.
