Amada Delphine Fawundu Artist Talk + In Search of the Spirit House Release Party

In Search of the Spirit House traces the spiritual unfolding of Fawundu’s artistic practice in Newark, inspired by the legacy of Amiri and Amina Baraka’s Spirit House—a vital site for Black theatre, music, poetry, and political discourse. Through personal reflection and collective memory, the publication explores how deep engagement with place and community shapes artistic practice across generations.

The publication includes interviews and conversations with artists, as well as images from artist projects and exhibitions developed during her time at the nonprofit arts organization Project for Empty Space, along with documentation of public art commissions, group exhibitions, bookmaking initiatives, talks, workshops, and performances.
