There Goes Nikki is an AR ode to the late poet Nikki Giovanni in which Giovanni recites her poem “Quilting the Black-eyed Pea (We’re going to Mars)”. Set against a cosmic backdrop and guided by her voice, the experience leads viewers on a journey through black memory, imagination, and liberation. Poetry becomes a portal to the universe Giovanni imagined for herself, and for all of us. By Idris Brewster, Michele Stephenson and Joe Brewster.
This project is included in the Tribeca Immersive 2025: In Search of Us exhibition alongside 10 other works. Ticket includes all Tribeca Immersive projects located at WSA. Click here for full program and details.
