No Resurrection
The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, New York, USA.
Presented in collaboration with BOFFO.

This performance confronts the pain, loss, and helplessness of African American mothers whose children have been killed as a result of police violence and oppression in the United States, recognizing survival as a radical act of resistance.

My mother remains seated on a mound of earth, beneath which I lie buried, though still visible to the audience. After some time, she covers my face and the parts of my body that remain exposed, burying me completely.

This work was produced as part of the exhibition Sacred and Profane with Pamela Sneed.
