Idle Crimes & Heavy Work...
“Idle Crimes and Heavy Work” is developing in conjunction with my participation as a co- director of The Georgia Incarceration Performance Project — a devised archives-to- performance collaboration between Spelman College and The University of Georgia, faculty, students, archivists, librarians, community partners, and incarcerated collaborators, exploring the history of incarceration and convict labor in Georgia.
“Idle Crimes and Heavy Work,” focuses on the often overlooked experiences of black women within this history, exploring the narratives of gendered and racial violence, and amplifying modes of resistance and restoration.
I am honored to partner with Giwayen Mata, the "award-winning, dynamic, soul-stirring, all-sistah, dance, percussion, and vocal ensemble that celebrates the richness of traditional Afrika by exhibiting its exemplary art forms. The ensemble performs traditional, contemporary and original pieces that address issues pertaining to people of color, women, and the environment."
"Idle Crimes & Heavy Work" will premiere on June 27th, 2019, at The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA-GA), as part of Controlled Burn, the Hughley Artist Fellowship group exhibition by WonderRoot, curated by Iman Person.
