• "Kentifrica (Ken-tif-rica) is a contested geography/continent that Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle, is developing an educational and research platform for. Through re-creating artifacts and sharing narratives and customs from her research archives, Hinkle reconstructs a Kentifrican identity that invites a critical engagement of the intersections of: collective vs. personal histories, Diaspora, migration, immigration, cross-culturalism and issues of geography. Through the embodiment of various voices and modes of address, Hinkle examines what happens to bodies in transit and how they are contextualized culturally depending upon historical hegemonic signifiers of race and culture. The project exists as a multi-layered living and breathing organism that thrives off of collaborations with various individuals and communities who come from multiple social, cultural, geographical, and artistic experiences. The Kentifrica project allows the opportunity for collaborators to shape and express their own consciousness in lieu of interpretations that have already been shaped and defined for them. Kentifrica is both a physical and theoretical space that is constantly shifting and open to various forms of interpretation. Many people do not know that Kentifrica exists or refute its existence, while some are fascinated by this unknown continent and have devoted their lives to research its culture and inhabitants" -- from the artist's website at https://www.kachstudio.com/kentifrica last viewed 2019-07-19.
• Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle is an interdisciplinary visual artist, writer and performer. Her practice fluctuates between collaborations and participatory projects with alternative gallery spaces within various communities to projects that are intimate and based upon her private experiences in relationship to historical events and contexts. A term that has become a mantra for her practice is the "Historical Present," as she examines the residue of history and how it affects our contemporary world perspective. --Ibid.
