Red Tethers is a series of dance performances centering queer Atlantans lost to HIV/AIDS and the hope that remains from their dreams and mine.
For each performance I will create a fabric installation, which I define as a temporary monument. This temporary monument acts as an installation of ephemera that will stay in the park for the public to experience beyond the event.
Red Tethers enacts a ritual of aliveness that tethers a past to a more robust queer future for all Atlantans. While this project centers queer audiences, all are invited to witness and participate in this ritual.
Red Tethers is supported by A&E Atlanta, The Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and Fly on a Wall.
