Jasmine Hearn, Memory Fleet

Memory Fleet is a continually expanding, episodic, migrating performance and archive project that builds an alternative archive for the preservation of shared memories and stories that center the work/rest & past/future of the Black people who have mothered and mentored the artistic trajectory of lead artist Jasmine Hearn (2022 Creative Capital Awardee). Memory Fleet encompasses a series of performances, a shared embodied practice, an evolving installation of archival materials, an expanding digital archive, and a body of original sound, text, and recipes — all celebrating the stories, dances, and gestures passed on through intergenerational lineages.
