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.
