Ancestral Salutations

What sounds, words, and movements welcome you to dream, and in that dreaming, who do you become?

In ANCESTRAL SALUTATIONS, Abi adorns regalia they have crafted from kanekalon hair, acrylic paint, cotton and linen. The regalia extends a process of self-discovery catalyzed by hair and movement that leads them to their ancestors and a place of welcome beyond the SOMBRE SALUTATIONS of this world.

The audio track, Fluid, is written and performed by Basit.

This project is supported by the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts.
