EVERYDAY: EPISODE 1 

Our Aliveness

In the first episode of Everyday, the three-part video series from Good Black Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, we sit down with Imani Roach and Rashid Zakat to explore aliveness as both a concept and a state of being. Through music, risk-taking, and spiritual togetherness, the two Philadelphia creatives share where aliveness shows up in their day-to-day lives.

Everyday was created alongside The Time Is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure, the landmark exhibition of 28 Black and African diasporic contemporary artists, and each episode explores one of the exhibition's three pillars. This episode takes on Our Aliveness, celebrating Black assembly, joy, and the everyday moments that define Black contemporary life. Watch Episode 1 on the Philadelphia Museum of Art's YouTube channel.

"The thing that makes me feel most alive is to feel seen."
