“I am writing my obituary
A manual for a life lived chasing LIFE — acontinua
A manual for every black child — To dream, grow wings and fly
Get closer to the clouds become one with the clouds
Becoming one with the wind, soil, trees, stones, water
I am writing my obituary
A manual for a life lived chasing a life”

This work was - is provoked by a refusal to participate in “retrospective“ activities. now - nowness - live - liveness - as the only possible options have led me to this preoccupation — as all our experiences become muscle; breath, footfall, backbend — and knowledge is shared through proximity to other bodies.
the word acontinua - is a celebration of Andre Lepecki‘s continued work with liberatory choreographies as well and my personal dedication to the thinkers Eduardo Mondale (1920-1969), the Zapatistas, and all the unsung women without whom change is impossible — nora chipaumire (2025)
