Overview
Blackmael is a surrealist short exploring assimilation and class mobility. A social tactic familiar to Black people yet far from exclusive to the Black experience. A pattern of behaviour that is so instinctual, so second nature, that absurdity and surrealism seem to be the only genres which can truly convey it.
