The Names We Give Each Other is a long-term, practice-based research project by filmmaker Marc Bertel aimed at developing artistic strategies to deconstruct the artist/researcher's own whiteness while simultaneously supporting the causes of a Black family in Watts that has welcomed him into their midst. Through collaboratively generating films, photographs, interventions and audio works, power relations are renegotiated, access to resources is shared and the storytelling agency is returned to those who own and live the history of Watts.
In collaboration with Marc Bertel
