Thanks to residency support from KinoSaito we're in the process of making a live performance version of DE-SUICIDE.
We shared our work in some informal showings on

To DE-SUICIDE is to become with, rather than following our settler-colonial histories to claim ownership of resources, people, and land. DE-SUICIDE is local, manifested through repetition of singular gestures which are performed until it leaks into the abyss of soil. It removes the option to own, to master, to control, and allows the emergence of other relationships, or, at the very least, it brings to the fore the relationships that may have existed before the master's hand took hold. With each move, we view the human as another node within the network and learn to live alongside difference. In order to do this, we remove ourselves from the center.
99.999999999% of relations in the cosmos are not human related.
Self-care is cute,
and selfish,
Do you care for something else?
