11m
Voices of Inception is a poetic documentary short film that tells the story of a remarkable process and place that led to the creation and design of the Tougaloo Center for Racial Justice and Equity, a unique partnership between the Episcopal Church and the Jackson, Mississippi-based Tougaloo College, a Historically Black College. It follows the architectural design firm, Duvall Decker, as they deploy their twenty years of community engagement practice in the South to navigate the cultural connections and divides that are revealed among the various stakeholders. The film explores the challenges and opportunities of addressing justice and equity through architecture and the design process. Woven throughout are scenes and images of the past and present of the region, illustrating the significance of this project in this place. Overlapping audio ebbs and flows as new voices join the creative process of inception.
