Letters in the Dirt

Letters in the Dirt is an immersive, participatory journey through the memories of the late Aiyana Jones, shot and killed in 2010 by an officer during a botched police raid in Detroit on the wrong home. The piece strives to honor her, combining ritual, games, poetry, music, and group collaboration to explore the meaning of ownership and black joy, how symbols are made and used, different ways of being small, and all the ways black folks create beginnings.
