Dawn at My Back by Carroll Parrott Blue & Labyrinth Project

Building on Carroll Parrott Blue's compelling written memoir and enriching it with video documentation, interviews and animations, this DVD-ROM makes her personal story and the historical background come to life. It works both as a companion to the book and as a stand-alone interactive memoir. Featuring voice-overs by Blue and by actors Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis and Debbie Allen, as well as moving testimonies from Black Houstonians, the narrative unfolds through a gospel-like layering of voices and music and a quilting of vivid photographs and movies. Users navigate through the mindscapes of Blue's "Homeland" and "Hell", where they find traces of the people, buildings, media images and events that shaped the community's struggle against racism and Blue's development as an artist. As users gain a deeper understanding of how this personal story is interwoven within the broader cultural history, like Blue, they reach the "Dawn". Here they gain access to a uniquely patterned quilt that documents their own personal pathway through this labyrinthine narrative field.
