NO MORE WHITE PRESIDENTS (SOUNDTRACK) by BLACK METEORIC STAR

"This is the soundtrack to the film "No More White Presidents”, a multi layered abstract film that Gavin Rayna Russom completed in January of 2017. For the film she developed what she calls the “flash film” technique. Although on the surface the film could simply be a long form music video it is in fact a complex of evocative and energetic themes gathered around the necessity for abolition and reparations. The themes that are “braided” or “beaded” together include a repetitive meditation on death, an assessment of global capitalism as so overburdened by the karma of the triple legacies of slavery, land theft/genocide and imperialism that it can no longer function, an invocation of several of the Orishas prominent in the Regla Lukumi tradition and an exploration of my emerging Trans-Feminine identity.
