In 2017, American film researchers recovered โSomething Good โ Negro Kiss,โ a short film depicting a playful kiss between a Black couple which had not seen the light of day for more than a century. A long-forgotten artifact from the earliest years of American film, the sweet, humanizing vignette, produced by the Selig Polyscope Company, makes a startling contrast to the overwhelmingly racist and blackface-ridden contempory portrayals of African Americans. Four years later in 2021, archivists in Norway, halfway across the world, identified a sister short in their collectionsโan extended alternate cut which reveals more of Chicago stage performers Gertie Brown and Saint Suttleโs vaudeville-like routine, a theatrical, hot-and-cold romantic dynamic between two lovers which parodies the popular and controversial short โThe Kissโ (1896). Both films, which had previously been lost, were known from entries in old motion picture catalogs but had been assumed to be era-typical, anti-Black โrace filmsโ until their rediscovery in the 21st century. Together with its more famous sibling, which has since been inducted into the Library of Congressโ National Film Registry, this alternate version of โSomething Goodโ represents the first-known instance of Black intimacy ever captured on-screen.

Made for myย Metal and Jewelry Class. Iโve been collecting pigeon feathers for a couple of years now they just fascinate me. One day I found a whole wing just lying on the street,ย so I made it into an art piece to show people how I see pigeons. Mostย people seem to hate them, but I see them as something beautiful and poetic.ย
