OPENING RECEPTION: OCTOBER 2 6-9pm • RECESS 46 Washington, Ave Brooklyn, NY

PORTALS: Traversing Black Continuums is a journey through time, space, generations, and dimensions! A multi-disciplinary work, PORTALS interweaves dance, sound, video, and craft into a fully immersive installation that is transportive and transformative.

Come experience the opening of this multi-disciplinary art installation with Dancer/Choreographer Kendra J. Ross, Participatory Art Artist and Wellness Coach Ziedah Diata and Multi-Disciplinary Artist Pia Monique Murray.

During open hours, community members are invited to witness and participate in the art-making process. You’re welcome to contribute to our evolving community altar—by offering an item such as a piece of candy, a mirror, a bag, or a container of water, something seemingly mundane that holds personal meaning for you. You can also choose to share a story or respond to one of the prompts provided.

“More/new technology will not save us. There is no answer AI could generate that would liberate us from ourselves. We must return to our ancient technologies, rely on our ancestral wisdom. We once understood our place in relation to all things, and we can get there again. But it is not with more technology, and it is most certainly not with AI.”
— Pia Monique Murray
 
 

PORTALS: Traversing Black Continuums is presented as part of Recess’s Session program, that provides artists the resources, space, and support to realize ambitious projects in collaboration with the public.
