Category: Mobile Sound Installation

Location: Ridge Avenue

Date & Time: 4:00-5:00PM

SlowDrag is a unique public art project created by artists Mendi and Keith Obadike. It is a mobile community-powered sound installation that takes the form of a procession of cars playing synchronized, original music through high-end sound systems. The project aims to encircle Black communities with a slow love song, creating a moving, immersive sound experience.

Come out to catch SlowDrag in action on Saturday, July 26th from 4-5PM! The procession will loop three times around the route over the course of an hour. We invite you to pull up at one of our suggested viewing areas to watch and listen to this celebration of culture, music, and community.
