Into A Portal
w/ Darryl Terrell
We collaborated with the Modern Ancient Brown Foundation to host an immersive listening session with MAB fellow, Detroit-based artist Darryl DeAngelo Terrell, drawn from his acclaimed series A Way To Get Gone.
This gathering invited participants to pause, breathe, and enter a soundscape designed to transport us through portals of memory, escape, and reimagined freedom. Terrell’s work layers sonic elements—field recordings, archival sounds, and intentional silence—into a meditative passageway that explores Black mobility, safety, and the longing for elsewhere.
This program is part of BULK Space’s commitment to cultivating liberatory practices in art, grounding creative work in place, history, and collective healing.
Participating Artist/Collaborator:
Darryl DeAngelo Terrell (B. 1991), Is a Brooklyn Based, Detroit Born Artist primarily working within lens-based media, performance, and writing; they’re also a Curator, DJ, and Organizer. Darryl received their Bachelor of Fine Art from Wayne State University in 2015 and their Master of Fine Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2017. Darryl works under the philosophy of F.U.B.U (This Shit Is For Us*). They’re always thinking about how their work can aid a larger conversation about blackness and its many intersections. Currently, Darryl is working across two bodies of work; one work is currently exploring afro-surrealism, thinking of how to get all black people free from the presence of whiteness, getting black people to “elsewhere” where the black diaspora can have complete freedom. Darryl is also exploring queerness and desire by way of a fat black femme non-binary alter-ego named Dion. Both bodies are flushed out through photography, video, activations, sound, and writing.
