"Familias- created by Pepatián’s artistic directors Merián Soto and Pepón Osorio- was an artistic and curatorial breakthrough for art and community projects in the South Bronx. As part of local artistic-activist-curation legacies, Familias and inclusionary concepts like “inreach” help spark possibilities of growth by working with existing narratives and materials to create new limits, and valuable possibilities for other visions of utopias." — Jane Gabriels, Ph.D. from Curating Live Arts: Critical Perspectives, Essays, and Conversations on Theory and Practice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61192d9de306641394dd48ed/40cdf456-c698-4fd0-833e-6f80189a94dc/CollageForEssay_PrintFile.jpg Work - WRITINGS: JANE INK - Preview to an Introduction: Seika Boye and Thomas F.

DeFrantz and Seika Boye in early 2023 to talk about Configurations in Motion: Performance Curation and Communities of Color—the gatherings, booklets, and the curatorial work—to ask how and if the work remains necessary. To think this through, we looked back at the 2017 conversation and the question posed about how we might cultivate a livable future. This brief essay is part of what resulted. Configurations in Motion: Performance Curation and Communities of Colour (1–2 June 2017): By Way of Introduction As curators of the third iteration of Configurations in Motion: Performance Curation and Communities of Colour in Montréal at Concordia University, in Québec, Canada, from 1 to 2 June 2017, we decided to begin with a few questions to set a frame for the essays that follow in this booklet of conference presentations.

There are now so many archives in the world, and ever more archiving. As a result, it is no longer a question of "the system" that presents itself, but rather many questions from so many systems, more in fact each day. The need for the anarchive has well and truly arrived. For if the archive promises order and authority, and the ability to do many things, it does so at a sometimes heavy price. The anarchive promises a way out of systems, often from within, to life's living. The Go-To How To Book of Anarchiving is a serial attempt to go where something's happening. - Andrew Murphie This book was produced in a book sprint at the Distributing the Insensible event at Senselab, Concordia University, Montréal, in December 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61192d9de306641394dd48ed/1630725088099-T4UVYILV4CXU5IKTXJ9V/memory-water1.jpg Work - WRITINGS: JANE INK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61192d9de306641394dd48ed/1630725127658-JTF9MMJ47SC0C2IT1370/memory-water2.jpg Work - WRITINGS: JANE INK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61192d9de306641394dd48ed/1630725165486-LO2IW0BG75UHTLKLT35D/memory-water3.jpg Work - WRITINGS: JANE INK https://www.janegabriels.com/work/sackett-woodworking-tr8sd monthly 0.5 2021-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61192d9de306641394dd48ed/1630753044032-WX1Q0L466ZW4VSL1TBFR/janejaneproductions.png Work - PROJECTS / PROCESS - Currents of TransAtlantic Relics el agua alcanza por debajo de todo / water reaches below everything From Ireland to Puerto Rico, from France to Ireland, from Ireland to the east coast of Turtle Island: Montréal, NYC, The Bronx.
