“Giulietta Masina was one of my earliest inspirations, and I was deeply affected by her performances. Masina was a brilliant, idiosyncratic actress, like a gamine. Nights of Cabiria is one of my favorite films, and I’ve seen it many times. “Wind Sequence,” from They Come to Us without a Word, includes my favorite piece of music by Jason Moran, which we’ve included in many works. It also includes the magical presence of performer Zora Casebere” (Joan Jonas).

This film accompanies Carte Blanche: Joan Jonas.
