Performance artist Ayana M. Evans and multidisciplinary artist Tsedaye Makonnen created this installation of new collaborative works and performances that explore the legacies of Black radical womanhood in relationship to well-being, ritual and physical labor.
Through participatory performance art-practices, Ayana M. Evans hopes to critically explore the semiotic and political economies of presumed knowledge that are lived through her body.
Tsedaye Makonnen’s primary focus is on countries within the Americas and African continent. She explores her hyphenated identity as a daughter of Ethiopian immigrants and a black American woman through her studio and research-based practice. Tsedaye’s approach attempts to convey the African Diaspora’s response to forced migration and the effort to recreate the Self within new territories.
