As “Jeffrey Gibson: POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT” enters its final month on view, we’re reflecting on the many collaborative activations and performances that have shaped the exhibition over the past 18 months.

From unforgettable performances by Takiaya Reed and ANOHNI during the exhibition’s Opening Celebration in 2024 to the recent audio takeover, “CHOPPED”, by Halifax-based Two-Spirit Cree transfemme artist Arielle Twist, the exhibition has become a vibrant gathering place for artists, musicians, performers, and audiences to connect, celebrate, and amplify Indigenous voices and experiences.

“Jeffrey Gibson: POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT” is on view through September 7. Plan your visit and experience this captivating exhibition before it closes.

Wandering is a response to Julie Mehretu’s exhibition, Our Days, Like a Shadow (a non-abiding hauntology), and emerges from a shared curiosity between multiple artists: who has the agency to wander, and how can we summon movement across space through the coalescence of visual, choreographic, and sonic imaginaries? Animating this entire performance project is the spirit of dialogue, a kinetic encounter—the visual and choreographic synergy between Mehretu’s and choreographer John Jasperse’s investments in the liberatory potential of abstraction in their work.

How do choreo-sonic landscapes enliven Mehretu’s works, and how, in turn, do her paintings activate dancers’ and musicians’ actions? Jasperse’s choreography, supported by seven dancers and two composers, brings our attention to the energetic, ambitious, wildly illegible, meticulously executed, deeply sensual, cryptically political, hauntingly blurred, and dynamically marked surfaces of Mehretu’s work. At times the dancers undulate against a wall, ear to rampart, as if to listen for the visitation of a memory’s echo; at other times they support each other’s weight in corporeal duets while creating shadows behind TRANSpaintings.

When does the dancing body here function as paintbrush, feeler, mourner, activator, silence, healer, soldier, ghost, chaos, sound, child, sketch, griot, lover, color, guide, rhythm, scream, seducer, frenzy, or wanderer? And how will sound transport us temporally, to yesteryears, afrofutures, and queer utopias? The audience, also a collective of internal and external wanderers, will live in this moment with us.
