Find Your Eyes

Pioneer of hip hop theater turned award-winning photographer Benji Reid mixes Afro-futurist imagery with hard-hitting tales from his adventurous life to make a unique show that unfolds before your very eyes. Combining photography, choreography and performance theater to make striking and surreal images, Benji Reid is an artist like no other. Reid draws from the well of his life experiences—exploring vulnerability, tragedy and triumph through the photographer’s lens. Find Your Eyes takes us behind-the-scenes on an emotional rollercoaster where conflict meets beauty and the stage becomes his studio. This passionate piece draws on Benji’s ability to bring both the art of dance and photography into the fold to create explosive images in real time in front of his audience. Journeying through highs and lows, Find Your Eyes explores how we make sense of the world through our stories and our art.
