New York Live Arts
March 1
As part of the Live Feed In-Process residency program, Kosoko offers a work-in-progress showing of his latest piece, Chameleon (The Chelsea Installments). “Through a sequence of fabric and sound manipulations designed to obscure and reorganize how the Black body is witnessed and expressed in confined environments, Chameleon examines the shapeshifting, illegible, and fugitive realities of Black diasporan people. The work explores how minoritarian communities record & affirm their existence through actions and protests that archive personal freedom narratives as a way to subvert culturally charged fields of systemic oppression, loss, and erasure,” according to the release.
