Matana Roberts’ Coin Coin series, now in its fifth chapter, illuminates the
long tail of African-American history. In the US/Europe-based
multi-disciplinary artist, composer and musician’s works, sounds and stories
collapse into each other, blurring lines between past and present, genres and
disciplines. Age-old folk songs transform into abstract, expressionistic
melodies and stories that hail from years past feel like they could have
happened yesterday. The success of the Coin Coin series has been its ability to
blend its elements, letting the fiery rise and fall of soundwaves tell a story
as much as Roberts’ words. With Coin Coin Chapter Five: In The Garden, Roberts
takes on the theme of reproductive rights, chronicling the anxiety, frustration
and tragedy that reverberates from an ancestor’s story into the current moment.
