Summers 2023 & 2024

Someone gave me this Jules Laforgue poem from an obscure book long out of print:

J’aurai passé ma vie le long des quais

A faillir m’embarquer

Dans de bien funestes histoires,

Tout cela pour l’amour

De mon coeur fou de la gloire d’amour.

Oh, qu’ils sont pittoresques les trains manqués!

Oh, qu’ils sont « A bientôt! à bientôt! »

Les bateaux

Du bout de la jetée!

De la jetée bien charpentée

Contre la mer,

Comme ma chair

Contre l’amour.

Ecologies of Transformation

"The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”

Toni Cade Bambara

In September 2021, I joined the newly launched Ecologies of Transformation 2021–2023 temporary master's program at the Sandberg Institute, curated and led by Camille Barton. Over the course of two years, I will be working closely with a small group of artists to explore how art and embodied practices can act as agents of social change, within a community rooted in care and pleasure.
