Opening Reception And Performance By Jaamil Olawale Kosoko
Opening Reception for In the Presence of Absence with a performance by Jaamil Olawale Kosoko, Chameleon (The EFA Installments).
Chameleon is a performance project created by Jaamil Olawale Kosoko that examines the shapeshifting, illegible, and fugitive realities of Black diasporan people. Using live feed and augmented reality media with complexity theory (the study of adaptive survivalist strategies inside complex networks or environments) as a choreographic device, this work explores how minoritarian communities record & affirm their existence through collaborative actions and protests that archive personal freedom narratives as a way to subvert culturally charged fields of systemic oppression, loss, and erasure.
