The book launch of a new artist monograph by Vuslat, published by Distanz, centered on the concept of Emanet—a layered notion of trust, care, guardianship, and entrusted memory knowledge. Vuslat will be in conversation with Eric Shiner, President of Powerhouse Arts, for an evening exploring the ideas and processes behind the publication.

Performance with Khaled Jarrar.

‍

The performance features a conversation with three matriarchal species, likely representing ancestral wisdom, environmental connection, and nurturing. An olive tree in pain from snow, a woman grieving the lost her son, a back goat running to the mountains for her life. A matriarchal resilience, eco-colonialism, grief, and the struggle between life-giving forces and destructive patriarchal power. A black goat as anti colonial destructive machine.

‍

Grounded in shared cultural histories and local networks, La Vaughn Belle, Danny Báez, Christopher Cozier, and Daniela Fifi come together with moderator Tiana Webb-Evans to explore how community-led initiatives create space for new voices, material practices, and forms of artistic freedom in the Caribbean.
