AFTERLIFE GEOGRAPHIES | A CELESTIAL BODY WHICH REVOLVES AROUND THE SUN
A Celestial Body Which Revolves About The Sun.
A work composed of sounds recorded from nature, fused with live electronic sounds, percussion and voice.
Location: Weeksville Heritage Center, Brooklyn, NY.
Date: Thursday, June 20, 2024
Performed as part of Cosmologyscape, commissioned by Creative Time. Set on the auspicious day of summer solstice, the Day of Dreaming is an all day dream festival on June 20 from 10am-9pm at Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn.
Cosmologyscape is an invitation for the public to dream both as individuals and as a community. In a city with a rooted history of criminalized rest and inequities of who actually gets to sleep and dream, Cosmologyscape is a public artwork anchored by a digital dream guide that centers Black and Indigenous methodologies for dreaming and acts as a safe portal for people to share their dreams. As part of Cosmologyscape, the Day of Dreaming is a collective call for New York City residents to come together in fellowship to rest and dream, guided by live music and meditation. The program is free and open to the public.

AFTERLIFE GEOGRAPHIES
In so far as the afterlife is accessed through the imagination, the afterlife situates what a future world might entail, and rearranges the pieces of the world, as we knew it, into a vision of the future. Afterlife Geographies considers sacred sites, sites of restoration, sites of reclamation, and sites of liberation. The project charts language, movement, thought, speech, and action to develop structures that archive histories of community building. Afterlife Geographies documents “way-of-life” practices, in relation to processes of settlement, by which communities articulate world view, synthesize experience, and establish infrastructures of empowerment and remembrance.
