Autumn Knight‘s interdisciplinary work primarily falls within performance, text, video, and social practices that address notions of race, gender, identity, psychotherapy, place, labor, humor and art access in a Black American context. Performance, which is at the center of her practice, is a score-driven, improvisationally executed, immersive experience with site-responsive elements. Knight often examines how audiences interact with Black authority figures; how participants make real conceptual material and how they can benefit from social experimentation that is both politically and personally urgent and also absurd.
