Witnesses is a series of visual collages by Bianca Turner that frames characters' testimonials within the theatrical production "Black Brecht: What if Brecht was Black?". The narrative revolves around Luculus Brasilis, a Colonizer General who, appearing dead at the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Shadows, must justify his existence on Earth to determine his eligibility to enter the Kingdom of the Blessed. This is the Ai-created testimonies of the witnesses Yayá (a black woman wearing a white wig), The Cook, and The Mother (Mãe Peixeira). These characters represent archetypes of individuals once transported from Africa to Brazil as enslaved people.
