Black Power Naps reclaims laziness and idleness as power as the artists explain in a video talking about their work.
Black people and people of colour generally experience less sleep. Also, less deep sleep. This isn’t new. Sleep deprivation was used as a means of control over enslaved people. Black Power Naps reclaims laziness and idleness as power. Through physical installations, operas, zines and curatorial initiatives, the group create playful works using a practice of deliberate energetic repair.
