DEMARCATION of SHENUT

performed by SHENUT
6:30-7:00pm @ VORTEX Main
Demarcation is a departure from the televised trauma porn that highlights black death as a means to evoke empathy from the privileged. This performance illustrates that pain, and death doesn't need to embody black americans. Demarcation takes the present complex psychological and ancestral trauma and uses uncomfortability as an agent to trigger every viewer equally. Drawing comparisons from the theory of economic, social and racial intersections, Demarcation at times mirror oppression and injustice that is unfortunately a large part of my existence. The emotional scars created through black people’s lived experience create unrelenting agony. This performance moves away from that narrative a shows the we are living beings also filled with love and pride.
