Otherlogue, 2019, interactive performance installation with mason jars, family artifacts, and sound sculpture of chains and mussel shells. I created a large altar in the automotive history archives of the Detroit Public Library, Skillman Branch, with the help of exhibition attendees, and activated the space with my sound sculpture, calling on spirit and my ancestors to fill in the gaps missing from history books.
