The Woods presents an exploration of exchanging places: how can we understand the Black experience?
Place taking, taking place. Experience the statement of the black condition, a movement testimony. We acknowledge the evidence, admit our ignorance, confess our shortcomings. Unseat the barriers within a system and overthrow our understanding. Allow the accumulation, show the build-up, and come out on the other side.
STATEMENT: testimony, acknowledge, admit, confess
REMOVAL: unseat, overthrow
ACCUMULATION: build-up
