Anthem

"Anthem" is an eight-minute music video that combines erotic images and hip-hop energy to celebrate the lives of African American men, showcasing a mix of mainstream black pride and gay pride imagery. Featuring powerful poetry readings and performances by six black gay artists, the film uses bold imagery and editing techniques to explore, celebrate, and revolutionize black gay culture. Released in 1991, it has become a landmark work of queer art that continues to provoke and inspire with its unapologetic expression of identity and solidarity.
