VIGIL is dedicated to the memory of Breonna Taylor.

A work of art and a call to action, VIGIL pays tribute to Breonna Taylor, the EMT and aspiring nurse who was shot and killed by police in her home, and whose tragic death has fueled an international outcry.

Created by renowned opera singer, Castleton alumni, and activist Davóne Tines in collaboration with Matthew Aucoin, Igée Dieudonné, and Conor Hanick, this music film presents an exercise in empathy—a model for how to engage with the powerful emotions we feel because of injustice, and how to take action. Through Tines’ rich sonic and visual lyricism, VIGIL asks us to connect with, understand, and act upon all of our sensations, inside and out.
