Shabazz Palaces have kept very busy in 2013. They recently premiered a mini film for (Sparkles)…Recollections of the Wraith, directed by Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes of The Black Constellation collective. The film is part of a thirteen part adornment, performance and object based ritual that began in the fall of 2010 dedicated to transitioned science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler. The video was initially shown as a large scale projection on a continuous loop for four months as an installation during the Frye Art Museums “Moment Magnitude Art Exhibition”. Shabazz Palaces also toured with label mates THEESatisfaction and The Helio Sequence (who they exchanged remixes with). Shabazz Palaces are currently at work on the follow-up to Black Up.
