STANDING IN THE CRACKS OF MULTIPLE HISTORIES investigates the contours of the history of the United States and the hegemonic narratives that form and uphold it. This research project maps the ruptures caused by these narratives to invoke stories that were lost between, took form within, or stood above its cracks.
With the arts as our plurivocal medium, we trace genealogies and counter-narratives of diasporic and indigenous communities within, and beyond, the imperial reach of the United States. This multi-limbed project features pairs of micro-residencies as well as interventions in collaboration with our radio platform SAVVYZΛΛR, dedicated to the sonic as a space of healing, catharsis, and rebellion...
As an art space, discursive platform, eating and drinking spot, njangi house, space for conviviality SAVVY Contemporary situates itself at the threshold of notions and constructs of the West and non-West, primarily to understand and negotiate between, and obviously to deconstruct the ideologies and connotations eminent to such constructs.
