The Refuge Series

The Refuge Series is an ongoing search for queer, black sanctuary in space inaugurated by cello performance, cuisine, and community action. This series explores ideas of radical softness; queer black joy; (trans)femininity; revolution; ancestral rage; loneliness; decolonizing notions of beauty; the importance of play; and gentle intimacy. They are portable, yet site-specific responses freeing one from and within a constant feeling of erotic placelessness, being in love but invisible, that I feel is often imposed upon black queer people. I want work that rages against the hypercommodification of the social media image, that takes time, conversation, effort and a certain kind of slowness; a work that creates community in spaces that were never meant for us.
