A Study titled 'Sidewalk Study: WORKING THE ROOT in Lincoln Center', a discussion gathering at the Strother School of Radical Attention, held at Lincoln Center with Lindsee and Eleanor. It takes as its texts Saul Williams's liner notes for D'Angelo's Voodoo, where he calls the artist a 'conjur man' rooted in Hoodoo, Conjure and Rootwork, and Harmony Holiday's essay on the 2026 Grammys tribute to D'Angelo, which she found bereft of its roots. The session asks what remains of an artwork's original intention as it passes from artist to audience, and what is lost to shifting soils and souls.
