Deep Currents

In 2022, the Harrison Center and Nabil Ince/Seaux Chill received the Joyce Award for an 18-month music residency. His completed songs and video amplify stories from historically Black neighborhoods in Indianapolis, harnessing multimedia art to combat cultural erasure and gentrification.

Deep Currents is a five-movement audiovisual art piece celebrating the past, present, and future of Black Indianapolis. The project specifically looks at the stretch from Martindale-Brightwood to Riverside, but ultimately includes aspects from all over the city.

The project was hosted by the Harrison Center and presented to the Indianapolis community through partnership with GANG GANG, BLACK: A Festival of Joy, and the Madam Walker Legacy Center.
