Table in the Garden by Zachary Fabri | 2021-22 BRIClab Video Art

Table in the Garden is an essay film inspired by James Baldwin’s letter titled “An Open Letter to My Sister, Angela Y. Davis”. Published by Baldwin in 1970, the letter provides emotional support and political solidarity to Davis while incarcerated for 16 months. This project uses Baldwin’s letter as a spark from the past, to generate new ideas towards solutions for the future of the U.S. corrections system. The first of a three part series, this film is recorded in Saint-Paul de Vence, France where Baldwin lived his last 17 years, while writing the letter.

Fabri has participated in residencies at Institute for Electronic Arts, Chelsea College of Arts, Fountainhead Residency, Smack Mellon, Wave Hill, and Vermont Studio Center. Fabri has been awarded the Colene Brown Art Prize, The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art. Fabri studied Photography and Video at Universität der Künste in Berlin and studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Fabri received his BFA in Graphic Design from New World School of the Arts in Miami and his MFA in New Genres from Hunter College.
