Tokumbo, you rock! For a moment I did not realize it was you on my Facebook, but then I looked at your profile. How are you? Well you actually seem to do very well- Professor of Women Studies, you! That’s great to hear, I remember our talk in the deli across form the GF building and you were a bit burned out from freelance hustling and tutoring a math lesson. I would love to catch up with you and am curious if you are working on other video projects. I remember your self- portrait in Paul’s semiotics class very vividly, that was a fine piece! My friend Maya and I (you guys might have had classes together?!) started a collective creating artistic and educational documentary and media art projects– http://www.movingworksnyc.org and we are collaborating with a few former New Schoolers. Our current big project is a Jazz doc on Reggie Workman.
so let me know what you are up to and be in touch!
Best,
Judith
