Judson Arts Wednesdays: Black Aesthetics with Song Aziza Tucker

“dreams from our seabed” is an embodied invitation to engage in the biomythrographical work of reimagining ones life through poetic form. song aziza tucker and Makaila chaplain will perform a duet together, emboldened by the work of engaging with our shadows and wayward senses of self. We bring these sister selves closer to, we breathe and dream together. Rayven Nishae Leak will be mobilizing sound, offering live dreaming reverberations. I offer this proclamation: “How can you expect me to not live in my dreams when the field where I rest my bones upon is an amnesiac landscape, a fragmented project of memoriam. I must speak in poetics, I must speak only in dreams, in glitter and blood because that is truth telling.”
