weight, véhicules and telepathy, how "la facultad" feels at a distance

with Catalina Insignares, Henrike Kohpeiß, Myriam Lefkowitz

Dedicated to exiled people and those who assist them, la facultad is a site where our dormant sensory faculties are exercised, so that we can hear, study and amplify them in collaborative situations. For the public talk on April 27, Lefkowitz and Insignares depart from written reflections on la facultad (and its different iterations since 2017), drawing out some of the ideas in dialogue with the philosopher Henrike Kohpeiß. The talk approaches an ongoing project at a distance.

Ẹ̀dùmarè, When Am I?

This interactive media performance examines Blackness as temporality—not simply as a question of identity, but as an unfolding, non-linear existence. Drawing inspiration from Michelle M. Wright’s Physics of Blackness, which reframes Blackness as a “when” rather than a “what,” and invoking Ẹ̀dùmarè, the Yoruba omnipresent deity of creation, the work explores how Black being is lived, perceived, and embodied across alternate realities.
