Site-Based Performance. Autumn 2016. Homan Square, Chicago IL, USA

Performance based on weaving a dialogue together between a profound personal resonance along the findings of 3 months of on-site fieldwork research in Chicago's historic North Lawndale neighborhood.

An exploration of systems of oppression focused on health disparities related to economic, social, and environmental disadvantage. A ritual advocating for whole food access instead of food-deserts, green spaces over empty lots filled of plastic garbage, community spaces instead of liquor stores.

Materials: 1 LB tomatoes, 1 LB Ketchup, white-beige-black garments, floral scarf, curtain, local dried plant + flora, white head scarf, dried roses, red vase, red slippers, yellow pantyhose, 3 witnesses, Homan Square grounds
