“The thing that makes me feel most alive is to feel seen” -Imani Roach.
In the first of three videos in “Everyday,” a three-part video series created to illuminate the nuance and richness of Black contemporary life, we sat down with Imani and Rashid Zakat, who discussed how “aliveness” is both a concept and state of being.
Music, risk-taking, and spiritual togetherness also came up in conversation, as both creatives spoke to examples of aliveness in their day-to-day lives.
Conceived by Good Black Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the series “Everyday” complements the works of 28 Black and African diasporic artists featured in the exhibition, “The Time Is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure,” on view now at the museum through Feb 9.

We invite you to experience “Everyday,” a three-part video series created to illuminate the nuance and richness of Black contemporary life.
Conceived by Good Black Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this series complements the works of 28 Black and African diasporic artists featured in the exhibition, “The Time Is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure,” on view now at the museum through Feb 9.
Hear more from Good Black Art Founder, Phillip Collins:
“Everyday, we experience triumphs, struggles, and countless moments between—many of which remain unseen or unrecognized as society attempts to reshape our narrative. Mirroring the exhibition’s emphasis on reframing the Black figure, the series highlights, celebrating the often invisible daily moments that define their experiences from Philadelphia to across the nation and around the world.
Each episode of Everyday will explore the three pillars of the exhibition: Double Consciousness, Past and Presence, and Our Aliveness. Whether it’s the energy and vibes of our music, our ability to thrive in spaces not created for us, or our push to build visibility in a society that often overlooks us, the series captures our truths in the everyday.”
