Zora Snake and Wilfried Nakeu | Escape the Boxes

In Escape the Boxes, Zora Snake and Wilfried Nakeu draw on the subversive narrative of 1922 Revisited to propose a performative trio involving a visual artist, a choreographer, and audience participation within a transformed space, where silence awakens the stories obscured by the hierarchical display of artworks. The performative act reimagines a reclaiming of original memories that have been stripped of their authentic function. For the artists this becomes a way to recontextualize the sacredness of works connected to the living, in relation to perspectives of repair and healing from the “fragments of history.”
