COMPOSER’S NOTE:
Against/Sharp is dedicated to the Black women and queer people of color who lost their lives violently as a result of their intersecting identities. 32 seconds of silence are dispersed throughout the piece in honor of the 23 trans and gender non-conforming lives taken in 2020 (by the time of composition), many of which were people of color.
- Brittany J. Green
