BLK Soap

  • Darryl Daley

BLK Soap is the debut short film by South London-based visual artist, graphic designer and art director, Darryl Daley; a three-minute, audio visual exploration of the black body and its movements across the Black Atlantic and a creative response to the current exposure of the black body; both dripped in imagination, yet still being anchored by reality. Featuring a musical score and appearances from Tupac Shakur, Sampha, Jean Michel Basquiat and a triggering host of those killed at the hands of the police, it is a visual amalgamation of the continuous intertwining themes that bound the black body. Here, Daley places the music at the forefront, mobilising it as the narrator detailing the history, spirituality, suffering, excellence and resilience of blackness.
