Join us for a sound installation and audio takeover of Jeffrey Gibson: POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT by Halifax-based Two-Spirit Cree transfemme artist Arielle Twist.
Commissioned by MASS MoCA in conjunction with Gibson’s exhibition and produced by Patrick ‘Reachout’ Coll, CHOPPED is a sound work informed by notions of erasure, disembodiment, hauntings, and the power of absence and ancestral presence. Twist conceived the sound installation in the wake of increasing discrimination and violence suffered by trans and gender nonconforming people, particularly in America. CHOPPED is both a manifesto and a prayer, authored and performed by Twist and a small number of trans collaborators. In the absence of her physical presence, Twist offers viewers the power of her voice, her spirit, and a braided lock of her hair.
