- Biography/History:
- Jonathan Gonz̀lez is an artist and scholar whose work engages research at the intersections of racialization, black geographies, creative practice and African diasporic literacies. These practices take on the form of prose, the choreographic, video art, sound, lecture and curation to engender interdisciplinary engagement towards otherwise modalities of collaboration, representation and study.
- Summary:
- "Moving between archival fragments, rehearsal notes, and speculative memory, Ways to Move: Black Insurgent Grammars traces the embodied frequencies and assembled states of Black life. Gonz̀lez theorizes Blackness as a grammar, occupying the interstices of white colonial culture; Black movement and expression are both defined by and break down the hegemonic. Through a consideration of land, politics, magic, and movement, this hybrid work performs the perpetually unfinished task of resistance."--Publisher website.
