PERIPHERY
This first collaborative work by Black Pearl De Almeida Lima, Kameron Locke, and Litchi Ly Friedrich is a conversation, a call and response between dance, movement, song and voice, as well as an act of friendship and kinship beyond what words can describe. It embraces the coming together to form our own community, but without forgetting the differences in acknowledgement of each person. These fragments are a show of resistance towards the experiences within various white institutions we have made and a refusal to perform the projections put on us. It is an act of unapologetic solidarity, resistance and standing by our values. These fragments we share are an invitation to be listened to, seeds that need to be planted as well as the echoes of our ancestors, legacies and voices who keep having to fight to make themselves heard.
