Idris wanted to see himself represented in local monuments, archives, and in schools while growing up in New York City. So in 2018, he left a computer science career to start ; an art & technology company creating digital monuments to amplify Black and brown histories. With a team of ten by his side, Idris is on a mission to empower communities of color through immersive storytelling and public art.

“Rada is a progenitor for Kinfolk because there are certain things about our film and our storytelling practice which are evident in his work. We do a deep dive into characters, and that deep dive really is a historical perspective – not only of the people but of the communities that we’re dealing with.

For us it’s a healing experience, but also it helps us to recontextualize the world that we’re confronted with through the majority perspective, and it’s a non-black perspective. And it’s a way for us to make sense of the cognitive dissonance of moving through this world. That is what Kinfolk does, and they’ve perfected it…

It’s a life mission to have contact with others who have similar obstacles.” - Joe Brewster

“In the evolution of our work, we’ve seen that form is political as well as content. So we’re constantly pushing the form. I think with ‘American Promise,’ it was about digging deep into observational work and how we can really master that, but from an unapologetic, Black, middle-class perspective.

We’ve taken that further – we’ve always been interested in immersive from pretty early on because of the lack of diverse voices bringing in perspectives… If we’re willing to be open to experimentation, crazy things can happen. To see the abyss or the uncertainty of the future as opportunity for reinvention is really key.” - Michéle Stephenson
