Process of Visions and Boundaries 2023
Performance by Miya Kosowick Mawatari in conjunction with Art Week by ADEMA Escola Universitaria (5 - 10 June, 2023).
Processes of Vision and Boundaries (2023) contributes to my ongoing interest in the relationship between inside and outside. What does it mean to be grounded? Through this performance, I make an ad hoc, temporary space that nestles on boundaries of a home or garden. Through attempts to connect to my disconnected cultural roots, I am doing it all wrong. The garden is an imposter, the protection is flimsy - to ground myself is but a fleeting feeling.
Through the process of mapping a home of sorts, I create a drawing that allows for the audience to temporarily look inside, but ultimately, no marks will remain on the canvas.
This performance offers an alternative perspective on heritage, rejecting its static image and instead viewing cultural legacies to be in continual transformation.
