Through multimedia, All on the Court: An Installation by Chrystal Seawood invites us to consider the intersection of Black masculine identities and spaces of emotional release. In an era in which notions of gender are expanding and challenges are being contested, Seawood invites us to consider what variations of masculinity exist beyond the gender binary.
