Abstract
Eckdsis is a thesis exhibition that explores childhood play as resistance, reclamation, and healing. This paper specifically addresses the lack of safe spaces for Black children to mature into adulthood unmarred by societal standards of conduct supported by racism and prejudice. Eckdsis argues why play is necessary in the lives of Black people and why it may be a revolutionary act.
