Imani Uzuri presents her experimental work-in-progress visual, performative, and sonic installation entitled Come On In The Prayer Room, inspired by visual artist, street evangelist, mystic and musician Sister Gertrude Morgan’s (April 7, 1900-July 8, 1980) “all white” Prayer Room which was located in the front room of her New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward home (that she christened the Everlasting Gospel Mission). She ran prayer services there from 1965 until her death. In this work, Uzuri explores the intersection of spirituality, ritual, spectacle, and sound.
