Acts of Memory: Performance in Black Artmaking
2025
Overview
[...]studying Black movement and its patterns is a practice and performance that is in conversation with agency and fugitivity. Ataraxy 1s serene or calm; the other is eudaimonia, meaning freedom from bodily pain. Since for Epicurus, the absence of pain or distress was the highest form of pleasure, this conception of eudaimonia was not merely negative.\" The writings of Black Atlantic thinkers address the movement of Black bodies as being in response to a lack of freedom and their presence as being seen as an absence from having a voice or influence on pursuing a good life. The art of choreography or quilting is piecing together to form a whole.
