Whittier is a contemporary docudrama following a diverse community of neighbors quarantined in Whittier, Minneapolis, days after the murder of George Floyd in May 2020.
From TyLie: “This multimedia docudrama is inspired by the Minneapolis-based graffiti, lawn signs, and murals created in protest of Floyd’s murder. The piece is adapted from focus groups, interviews, and small talks that I conducted with neighbors, small business owners, and community leaders of faith, during the 2020 uprisings in my neighborhood. Essentially it is an ensemble drama about a community connected by tragedy.”
