Amarr Coleman
"Finding belonging, understanding one's legacy, and remembering that every voice and every block has a story worth telling"
Amarr Coleman, a successful Chicago-based artist who has returned home to Kentucky after the passing of his beloved grandmother, Linda Coleman, finds himself still in Lexington a month after the funeral, struggling to wrap up family affairs. When an old friend visits him, Amarr is forced to re-explore the neighborhood, his memories, and the many characters that reflect the history, beauty, and complexity of home.
