A meditation and exploration into the ‘laws of freedom’. Through poetry, an art form with its own relationship to freedom and control, the work investigates the space of diaspora, a place where forgetting, remembering and reimagining act as architectural devices in the urban planning of the diasporic psyche.
An aural-visual-textual-oral tapestry that uses performance, rhythm and erasure as structuring devices, a ‘call to arms’ for sonic way finders who seek Carnival’s joyous and redemptive liberation.
Those With Walls for Windows (2023), exhibited at the Venice Biennale (Arsenale) until November 2023.
