Creative Time:
Robert King Wilkerson & Rigo 23
Originally aired on Monday, May 19th, 2008
Robert King Wilkerson - a member of the Black Panther Party who spent 29 years in solitary confinement in Angola Prison - discusses the use of speech under the pressure of complete isolation. This presentation is developed with Rigo 23, a longtime collaborator with Wilkerson, who presents a video documentary about how he has used language in his visual artwork to support and broaden awareness of figures like Wilkerson, and how ideas of language relates to ideas of truth.

Robert King Wilkerson & Rigo 23 was produced as part of Hey Hey Glossolalia, a series of free events and lectures that took place in New York in May 2008. The project, through which artists explored the infinite shades and possibilities of the voice, was hosted by Creative Time.
