Supreme Presence, Leyla Rodriguez, 2016
There will always be that one moment that one thing and clear feeling where you know this will be a presence shining through the centuries of your life. This is the supreme presence, all pictures combine and unfold in there own way, in their own time, the presence has its own time. Cutting the Clock and the Calender in Half just by the pure existence.
Revés Del Tiempo – Inside Out Time, Muki Sabogal, 2016
* It is a ritual to hold on to time, proposing to it a deal to be in the present. A wanderer must reconcile herself with the unfolding of time on a pre-Inca temple, digging through its trifles, Butoh dancers who enquire into their own search superpose themselves.
Copper, summer fucking mason, 2017
Copper engages with the concepts of both Black death and queerness. The goal of [Copper ] is to redefine the five stages of grief, re-imagining how Black folx throughout America endure collective trauma. Enduring grief is framed not as a process of victimization but a method of transcending the current plane. A cycle of deconstructing and reconstructing that occurs more than once; how [Copper] interprets these five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Featuring films
Linda Fenstermaker, Partial, 2016
This film questions the layers of division between ourselves and the natural landscape in both form and format.
Tara Merenda Nelson, Flying Fish, 2012
“When the new is given birth, the light is brought to Earth. The energy of the cosmos becomes visible through human life and deeds, and that energy impregnates all with its divine quality. The creation which takes place in darkness and stillness will emerge and spread the divine, the Light, sharing it once again with the mother who gave it birth.” – The Tarot, Princess of Disks
A portrait of my pregnant sister, surrounded by magic.
