lean is a performance work of voice and body. Through acts of leaning, carrying, resisting and releasing, six performers form adaptive structures of support that echo the dynamics of family systems. Weight redistribution becomes a language passed between bodies tracing how grief, joy, care, anger and addiction move through kinship networks. Resonating through matrilineal gestures and Korean bathhouse practices, the work unfolds through interwoven vocal and movement canons, like echoes across generations. It invites an embodied experience of interdependence where support is constantly negotiated and in flux.
Indigenous Perspectives on Radical Kinship: Kimberly Robertson, Corazón Del Sol & Chloë Flores
Join us for a walk-through and conversation with two artists and the curator of the exhibition. This talk will highlight the works and artists that foreground hemispheric Indigenous frameworks of resurgence and relational world-building, and will discuss art as a tool for both critique of dominant systems and demonstrating new possibilities for communal life.
