The (In)exhaustibility of Memory, collaboration with sound artist Myani Guetta, performed at MINT Gallery, Atlanta, GA, 2020.
In The (In)exhaustibility of Memory, we present a trickster’s odyssey to create subconscious memories through durational performance with installation and sound. Our inquiry operates on the inexhaustible paradigm of grief and celebration in queer people-of-color communities - experiencing will, endurance, labor, exposure, joy and loss to create and collect our own queered memories as survival. We seek a combination of fantasy and social practice as a foundation to slow down and interrupt the facilitators of catastrophe (white/cis/male/capitalist culture) to shift collective consciousness. Through a series of obstacles, the trickster must collect objects representative of acquired memories. But what happens when she tires? or wanders? As we rewire our bodies and memories to erase the oppressive system, can we move toward a future that re-imagines society as a pervasive and inclusive body? Is this chosen loss of memory the ignition for new beginnings?
