THE BAOBOB PROJECT

The Baobab Project intricately explores the journey of Black men into adulthood using photography, collage, and mixed media. Through immersive one-on-one sessions, participants engage in meditation and dialogue, fostering a profound rediscovery of personal empowerment. Drawing from African rites of passage, participants are adorned with white tribal paint, capturing their emotional exchange, while intimate Polaroid portraits serve as catalysts for healing and cultural reconnection. Collaborating with filmmaker Shay Nartker, the project extends its narrative through a compelling short documentary, offering a multifaceted perspective on its transformative impact.
