African American Performance Art Archive

Summary:

These videos represent the collaborative nature that characterizes much of Senga Nengudi’s performance work. Many of these videos not only document the performances that Nengudi has participated in but are independent artworks in and of themselves. “Joseph Cambell and Friends” is a video that Nengudi sometimes shows when she gives lectures on her work to discuss her cultural background and artisitic inspirations.
