Black Man Running 

Black Man, Running is a public performance project created within a run (as in a jog or a footrace) that addresses issues of race, public space, safety and democracy. Organized around four years of weekly running groups and three major runs in different U.S. cities, the project acts as a larger performance process of story-gathering and community dialogues. BMR explores the submerged politics of running. Running reveals how we internalize and externalize demography, and how we perceive public space.
