UN-[TITLED] is an immersive, multisite-specific project that centers on the ways in which communities are displaced by gentrification. Guests are guided through a series of engagements and reckonings with community meaning, cultural memory, and healing in the Central and Chinatown International Districts of Seattle.
As a series of offerings and invitations created in collaboration with theater and community artists and architects, UN-[TITLED] is an immersive, multisite-specific project that centers on the ways in which our communities are affected by development, displacement, and gentrification. Guests are guided through a series of engagements and reckonings with community meaning, cultural memory, and healing in the Central and Chinatown International Districts of Seattle. Participants (artists included) are asked to locate themselves within the patterns of gentrification, locate homein themselves, and to naturalize through Right Relationship. It asks for a demonstration of responsibility to the land, air,and water, and to actively center marginalized folx, memories, and stories through art, sound, movement, performance, ritual, and community.
This performance is immersive and takes place at multiple locations in different neighborhoods. Shuttles will be provided between locations, and the initial meeting point will be emailed before the performance.
