OK

The work OK stems from a collaboration between Anouk De Clercq and the New York–based artist, writer and composer Helga Davis, who in the summer of 2020, at the height of the Black Lives Matter protests, wrote a text to give voice to her pain and also to her hopes for the future. The text became the starting point for a new film and a first joint work signed by Helga Davis and Anouk De Clercq. OK is a personal account on the relationship between white and black, exploring the possibility of collaboration and mutual care. The work questions dynamics of power and responsibility inherent in any relationship, in search of a shared essence between opposites.
