KNOWING is an experimental, visual poem short created by Erika E. Wade. The film explores the personal and spiritual connections Black folks have to water and the histories it holds. A part of the 2025 Southern Exposure Film Fellowship, KNOWING was filmed at various Avondale and downtown Birmingham locations as well as Turkey Creek Nature Preserve.
Knowing has been accepted into several international film festivals, including the World Water Day Festival and WEX Global, two organizations in partnership with the United Nations and their World Water Day theme of Water and Gender.
