_"Black Americans were sustained, healed, nurtured through our translation of experience into art, above all in the music."_ (Toni Morrison)

The presentation “In Response To” delves into a research process that uses another artist's work as its initial point of departure. Allowing guests to puruse a selection of texts, personal archives/photographs, and memories, the presentation will follow Isabel’s own inquiries into how we make home and negotiate the self across different spaces, while connecting these to Reyes’s practice through questions of “what makes people move? How can a source material be a somatic?”Julls will provide sounds to accompany the event as a further sonic response to both Jesús and Isabel practice.

The selected titles respond to themes of queering Afro-diasporic religions, as well as the relationship between atmospheric and environmental conditions and the way our bodies move through/within the domestic and club space as Black Caribbeans.

Guests are invited to take notes and make their own scans of the selected texts as an entry point into their own research inspirations. Drawing on Isabel's professional experience in libraries and archives, this event considers how informal spaces of research and inspiration from the everyday can become your own resources for knowledge production.
