The UN-[TITLED] Project

UN-[TITLED] is an immersive, multisite-specific project that centers on the ways in which our communities are affected by development, displacement, and gentrification. Guests are guided through a series of engagements and reckonings with community meaning, cultural memory, and healing in the Central and Chinatown International Districts of Seattle. Participants (artists included) are asked to locate themselves within the patterns of gentrification, locate home in themselves, and to naturalize through Right Relationship. It asks for a demonstration of responsibility to the land, air, and water, and to actively center marginalized folx, memories, and stories through art, sound, movement, performance, ritual, and community. This performance takes place at multiple locations in different neighborhoods. Shuttles will be provided between locations, and the initial meeting point will be emailed before the performance. UN-[TITLED] is a socially engaged project conceived and organized by commissioning curator Berette S Macaulay. Creative collaborators include Benjamin Hunter, Margaret Knight, Nia-Amina Minor, and Tom Pearson (Third Rail Projects). Community partners include Jazmyn Scott (Arte Noir), Stephanie Johnson-Toliver (Black Heritage Society), Tara Tamaribuchi (Friends of Inscape and Inscape Arts), Cynthia Brothers (Vanishing Seattle), Elisheba Johnson, Inye Wokoma, and Soulma Ayers (Wa Na Wari Seattle), and Teme Wokoma (Sankofa Theater). UN-[TITLED] is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation and Development Fund Project co-commissioned by On the Boards in partnership with BRIC. The Creation and Development Fund is supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Audio recordings and production made possible through the Artist Residency Programs at Jack Straw Cultural Center.
