"... and when I speak, my brown skin and the entire ecology vibrate."
What bridges the gap between theory and aesthetics? Between situatedness and migration? Between sounding and listening, performing and perception, the Universal Self and the Colonial Other? What insights are gained by imagining beyond the social constructs of racial, national, cultural, gender, or disciplinary borders and boundaries? What knowledge arises from the act of hearing? How can the processes of sounding and listening lead us towards a post-migrant society? In this artist talk, meLê yamomo discusses his life story and philosophy as an artist-scholar who navigates between continents, cultures, artistic practices, and academic disciplines.
