Living in Color / In Living Color

This series of performative actions and interventions departs from the urgent, unsettled question: What does it mean to be “of color”?

By weaving together traces of past works with new performative experiments, the working group opens a collective space where ghosts are summoned and portals opened. The work is an invitation to remain with the discomfort of racialization while moving towards futures that imagine Blackness as processes of becoming—fluid, multiple, and ever-expanding. A decolonial and speculative practice where Blackness can be dreamt and re-dreamt.

For more than a decade, Sonya Lindfors has been working with the thematics of Blackness and Black body politics, interrogating questions of power and representation both on and off stage, while actively practicing imagining further. Living in Color / In Living Color is the beginning of a larger body of works under the title Black & Blue.
