A Solid by Any Other Name


The solid is, well, "the solid." While there are other names for it, there really are no other names for it.
Sure, some have tried to make it exclusive, tied to markers of identity, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, calling it "the soul brother handshake" or "the soul handshake" (as seen in the great PBS documentary Wattstax).
While we will go into greater detail in our upcoming Solid Manefesto, let it be said that the solid as we see it is straightforward - a bond, a connection, a meaning shared. There are no twisted permutations of position and movement, no pantomimes, no slaps or claps. The solid is the moment and we won't be party to its trivialization.
