Compton Cipher: Panama

March 2023 – September 2023

Compton Cipher: Panama followed four artists from Compton and four artists from Panama as they formed pairs and participated in a call-and-response exchange in their respective mediums.  

Videographers in each city visited the artists to talk about their work and their partners. Below are both the documentary directed by Randy Navarro, and a slide presentation sharing the call-and-response exchange between the artists.  Enjoy!
