​​​the Black box test presents a multidisciplinary conceptualization of Black space, drawing on architecture, oral history and visual theory. Artist Jessica Gaynelle Moss presents a richly layered polyphony that includes a sound installation, thematic illustrations, concept maps, and a series of interactive discussions with Black artists, scholars and experts who are dedicated to cultivating, creating and protecting our shared sacred spaces.

the Black box test examines Black space in a broad cultural context that includes the artist’s own practice-based interpretations, scholarship and personal experience situated alongside the knowledge and expertise of other Black artists, leaders and cultural specialists.
