Show Twelve: “Beyond Fear and Tyranny: the River is Here”

Thursday, October 5th , 2023 Dusk - 9:30 pm Jay Street and Water Street

“Is there a place we can be, exist, thrive without fear, without pain?” a character asks in Tabita Rezaire’s SENEB. Capitalism is killing too many of us, human and nonhuman. Histories and knowl- edges are erased, and the tyrants cover their greed with toxic lies. Another world is not only needed, it is possible but just barely. This screening champions artists who may have the sly wit, the new and ancient imaginaries, the hard methods to push the mass that proclaims itself to be the world through the cloaca and into the live-able. A canoe, a sorceress, recycled gold, a knife, an alligator smile, a knitted cloud of jellyfish, and secret messages hidden in chunks of DNA: tools to collaboratively unmake the darkness of global capitalism, and brave new practices to tell big-enough stories into the unknown. Another world is not only needed, it is possible.

Featured artists: Jessica Segall, Jen Liu, Gretta Louw, Tabita Rezaire, and Kaya Joan
