It’s one thing to think with your spirit it’s another thing to actually live it through your body,” she told the writer and curator Antwaun Sargent. “I think so much of this album and this project and this film is really about my body and the things that I had to do to reinforce these beliefs into my body. Knowles noted that the album felt like something of a return, not just to the physical space that birthed her but also to the visceral feeling-and unique artistic fecundity-of being a black woman from the Third Ward. At the SHAPE Community Center, where Knowles once attended summer camp, she spoke about the influences that informed her album’s sound-and especially its insistence on repetition. Over the weekend, Knowles discussed the project after screening the film to audiences at nine venues around the city (and online, via the BlackPlanet page she created for the album’s rollout). It’s a recursive love letter to Houston’s geography, the city’s musical pioneers, and the legacies of its black residents. The project, meditative and balmy, channels the singer’s roots to soothing effect. Titled When I Get Home, the record was accompanied by a film of the same name.
