PROJECT

DIRECTED BY SHAYLA-VIE JENKINS + JESSE ZARITT
































WE BEGAN OUR WORK THIS SEMESTER WITH RESEARCH INTO MODES OF ASSEMBLY - WE DISCUSSED
AND PLAYED WITH DIFFERENT WAYS GROUPS COME TOGETHER IN JOY AND PROTEST, IN EXPRESSIONS
OF DIFFERENCE AND UNITY. WE ASKED: HOW CAN WE MAKE AND SUSTAIN SPACE FOR AUTONOMY,
COLLECTIVITY, COLLABORATION, RESISTANCE AND PLEASURE? WE LANDED ON THE FRAMEWORK OF THE
PARADE AS A SITE OF IMAGINATIVE POSSIBILITY. WE WONDERED TOGETHER - IN REFLECTION ON THE
WRITING OF NATE PYPER - WHAT A PARADE AT THE END OF THE WORLD MIGHT LOOK LIKE. IN OUR
VIRTUAL MEETINGS WE’VE BEEN EXAMINING HOW TO RESIST ENDINGS, HOW TO KEEP PARADING,
HOW TO IMAGINE PARADES AT THE START OF A NEW WORLD. IN A TIME THAT ASKS FOR SOLITUDE,
HOW CAN WE CONTINUE TO MOVE TOGETHER? WE BUILT AN EXPERIMENT IN SUSTAINED PHYSICAL
COLLABORATIVE DIALOGUE. WE TRIED - AND ARE STILL TRYING - TO MOVE AND BE MOVED BY EACH OTHER.
