DUAL.world
Welcome to DUAL.world, the experience of Life from the perspective of Austin Peete.
"This publication is an exploration of lived experience. Over 3 years, I embarked upon a deliberate journey of practice, curiosity, and conversation to (re)connect with my own Life. The start of my journey begins during 2017 and blends into the present." —Austin Peete
In collaboration with The Bakery, DUAL.world is a multimedia exhibit curated by and featuring multidisciplinary artist Austin Peete. The experience showcases original music, prints, and large-scale magazine-style graphics of personal journal entries written between 2018–2021. The internal and interpersonal relationships of three friends—Austin, Ocean, and Omar, are examined through explorations of distinct physical geographies and cultures. Echoing the travels that Austin has made between the United States and Japan over the past few years, DUAL.world weaves a cross continental narrative around Black masculinity.
Austin hopes to communicate an evolving understanding of masculinity across time, how representations of identity morph, and how we construct identity in different social contexts.
The soundtrack moves in three phrases echoing transitions across space, and growth across time.
