Coming in 2024:
Feature Film Emmett, Tief en meinem Herzen
Label Noir, Afro-German artist collective in Berlin, filmed Christian Buchner’s German translation of my play Emmett, Tief en meinem Herzen. Artistic directors Lara-Sophie Milagro and Dela Dabulamamzi dramatize how the Emmett Till tragedy reverberates in contemporary Germany.
“One of the most important projects of my career as actor, director, producer. So proud and happy to work with our amazing team. How privileged we are to bring Emmett Till’s story to the screen.”
– Lara-Sophie Milagro, co-artistic director Label Noir

Earth Ambulance
Earth Ambulance brought earth from 12 U.S. military sites to the United Nations on May 2, 1982. From the Livermore Weapons Lab in the West to the Piccatiny Warhead Design Arsenal in New Jersey. “America, Open your Windows! There are arsenals in your backyards!” From across the country folks scrawled their dreams and nightmares on pillow cases filled with earth from each site. Once emptied into frames as earth paintings, the pillow cases hung on clothes lines across Dag Hammerskjold Plaza between 1st and 2nd Avenues. Performance Art in action before the Mass Rally for Disarmament June 12, 1982.
Conceived and carried out by visionary activist artist Helene Aylon and her team.
Forty one years back –
Earth Ambulance! We were there.
Take your place in time.
