Who Am I Film

Inspired by “I, too, am America” by Langston Hughes, Who Am I is a visual poem directed by Abdi Ibrahim and Jonathan Salmon. The film is an unapologetic ode to the relationship between Black life and the art it creates by portraying 40+ Black Seattle artists of all disciplines, ages, complexions and backgrounds to highlight the authenticity of their craft.

Who Am I is used as a call to action to donate to a GoFundMe campaign to financially support Black-led grassroots organizations (CHOOSE 180 and CREATIVE JUSTICE) in Seattle dedicated to restructuring the youth incarceration system in the county.
