Bright Dynasty is a performance installation and exhibition exploring multifaceted personhood. An installation of paintings, sculpture, and designs made with, and creating the conditions for, dancing. Choreographed with sensations, mood, and intuition, dances nutate within psychic relationships and energetic frequencies between artworks, life forms, materials, and processes of transformation. Supported by a Jerwood Bursary, and produced with support from Kunstraum, London.

“This is very personal. I feel deeply unknown and uninvited by western history and its narratives and implications about who it is that I might be, what it is that I am here for, and why it is that I stay. I make dances, I go dancing, go somewhere, I bring things back with me. Essential travel to an essential nature. In the exhaustion, fear, and uncertainty: luminosity; radiating, intermingling forces; a healing lotion. A family of passing and gathering orbits and constellations I surround myself with devolve cultivated varieties of colonialism – its tactics, fixations, and hierarchical taxonomies. And observe and penetrate material and spiritual relations – mutable and agile – of the human in the cosmos, and the cosmos about the human”.
