Visit the water in your body, think along side it, imagine longside it, refract alongside it, refuse alongside it.

to be of space
to be of scale
to be of blue
to be of black

This collaborative performance looks to the water in our bodies as a place to find memories and sensoria shaped by built environments. It’s a work that addresses the necessity of architecture and infrastructure that responds to the ways our bodies store liberation in liquid. 
How do we store water as memory? What comes up for us when we consider the wellness of water our bodies host? Moreover, if Blackness was made on the Atlantic and if people continue between life and death in/on the Mediterranean, Red Sea, and Indian Oceans, how do we understand the collective memory of brown body water and architecture as a condition of unrelenting state change during an ongoing environmental fight for liberation?
