Solange Knowles is once again making waves in the art world with her latest stunning visual project. According to Complex, the multi-talented artist recently released a short VHS film titled Shakersss.mov. This mesmerizing work will be on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles from February 16 to May 4 as part of the American Gurl: home—land exhibition.
A Visionary Project
The eight-minute self-documented film was both directed by and stars Solange herself, showcasing her deep artistic vision and storytelling ability. More than just a visual piece, Shakersss.mov reflects her continued exploration of themes related to identity, movement, and emotional connection.
In addition to crafting the film, Solange shared a heartfelt note with viewers, emphasizing the work’s connection to water and self-discovery.
“Hold on to the people, places, and things that make you feel seen, held, and safe! And hold on to yourself when the tide is low,” she expressed on the project’s website.
A Deeper Reflection
Beyond its stunning visuals, Shakersss.mov serves as a personal meditation for Solange. She described the film as a reminder that light always reveals itself, reinforcing the idea that answers will come with time and faith.
“I made this lil film Shakersss for absolutely no reason other than a reminder to myself that light always reveals itself, and if you water the questions enough, answers will rise within you with unshakable faith.”
An Expanding Artistic Portfolio
This latest work adds to Solange’s growing legacy in the art and performance world. In 2022, she made history as a composer for the New York City Ballet’s Fashion Gala, becoming only the second Black woman to receive such an honor. At the time, she shared her excitement about composing an original score for a ballet choreographed by Gianna Reisen, which was performed by the City Ballet Orchestra and soloists from her ensemble.
Beyond ballet, Solange has curated and performed live art pieces at prestigious institutions, including:
