FEDS WATCHING (2018)

FEDS WATCHING subverts the surveillance of blackness by re-mapping and manipulating somatic impulses learned as a result of a surveilled black embodiment. The work is a ritual, a folktale, a funeral repass, and a training manual considering how Black flesh might move beyond or move before racialized surveillance.

Performers: Nahimana Aponi, Audrey Johnson, Miryam Johnson, and Shanice Rollins

Commissioned by Musuem of Contemporary Art Detroit
