There will be noise, shadows, light. And projection engulfed in sound, visuals and movement.

‘[heavy.ngly:be.AST] KING(dom) com.in’

Is a speculation on the polarization of Atlantic time , that moves through and outside the middle passage. A force that responds to a heavenly -other worldly cries uttered across the Atlantic, across the ancient world and the world to come.

What are the movements of divine abduction?

The Atlantic as a gapping, a gapping as the in between - the in between as the bridge - the bridge as the margins - the margins as the rhizomatic rootings. Non-locality, no-thing.

A quantum meditation on nothing creating everything with the aim to alter the forms of relation.

What is an “Open field poetics”?? What is Black studies outside the parameters of western formulation of knowledge? How can a black republic from the situatedness of the open field give us alternative and obscure “un-readings” of Blackness. What is the sound of the raw realms of expression from the open field, what does its movement of knowledge look and feel like?

A critique of miscellaneous forms and aesthetics.

Artists include Shamar Watt & Austin Williamson
