Free on Bail
A visual album blending Afrofuturism and spirituality, Free on Bail (Livre com Fiança) follows a young Black gay man guided by tarot on a journey of healing, self-love, and liberation—revealing how art, ancestry, and collective freedom become the true bail for the soul.
Plenum
PLENUM follows the experience of siblings Ajani and Tracy, as they make their way from Chicago to New York City. While Tracy is worried that Ajani's recent HIV positive diagnosis will drive him into isolation, Ajani fears the consequences of telling their father as he enters a new community and phase of life.
