Program Description

where will I be buried?* is a group show for Queer and Trans* People of Color that honors our experiences in life and death and the spaces in-between. Through installation, performance, film screenings and community dialogue this exhibit will connect diverse diasporas around the non-permanence of memory, home, maintaining and changing cultural traditions and legacy. This show is not about dying necessarily, but our relationship to death. How do we hold space for those of us who have moved on from this plane of existence, how do we deal with the loss, the mourning, the grief. This show honors all different deaths, death of self or identity, of relationships, of housing. This show will be a living monument creating a space to honor ourselves and those we love. How do individuals relate to in the way they choose to be buried or cremated? How does art play a role in creating conversations that offer nuanced perspectives surrounding these practices?
