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.

then it serves a psychosis.”
