Freedom Summer: A Triptych explores the embodied legacy of the 1964 Mississippi voter registration campaign and its relevance to the energy and culture of the 2024 election. Each section investigates different qualities of resistance: the spark of change, the collective organizing , and the ongoing struggle that manifests in collective bodies that toss, tumble, and fight for justice.
