Kianga Ford's 34x52x40 Documentary HD

Over the past six months, Kianga Ford has explored Winston-Salem to research its history, speak with members of the community, walk its neighborhoods, collaborate with local musicians, and imagine lives shaped by the city's patterns of settlement, de-segregation, and industrialization. In the audio-based artwork 34 x 52 x 40, she translates this information into a series of three guided walks and a driving tour of Winston-Salem. These narratives place us into the headspace of fictional characters inspired by the history and character of our city.

The title of the work refers to Forsyth as the 34th County of North Carolina (in slang, the "Tre-4"), whose population has been simultaneously connected and divided by the major highways spanning Winston-Salem: 52 & 40. By listening to, and experiencing this project, you will re-discover Downtown, the Transit Center, "The Pond," Happy Hill, La Perla, Reynoldstown and Reynolda Village through the imagination of an internationally-travelled artist.
