UNDERcurrents is a multimedia performance and community engagement platform that explores links between the catastrophic history of the Middle Passage, ongoing histories of forced displacement, and the collective memory and knowledges born of such brutally propelled mass movements. Through research drawn from Atlantic dives and lured by the element of water as a guiding motif, UNDERcurrents conjures multiple registers, tangible and intangible, of our living in continual rupture, moving across elements, landmasses and waterscapes, ships and ports, gestures and flesh.
Performances will occur at 2PM and 5PM followed by community conversations for each.
