"The gallery is dimly lit, with a humming cacophony of sounds and dancing imagery bleeding between the gallery’s archways from four stand-out video works. A commissioned piece by Akeema-Zane and Rena Anakwe, Our Mourning Due — A Funeral Sermon (2022), weaves together fragments of performance, writing, and an experimental electronic sound design. The imagery glitches across the screen as the scenes are set in motion and layered as if by a ghostly kaleidoscope: flashing glimpses of the sky, a horse stable, the interior of a church, the rushing waves of the sea, and sun-blanched rocks. The glowing use of mirroring devices and the sighting of inverted figures and landscapes is actively immersive. Much of the textual score is original, with excerpts from Johnson’s “Go Down Death” (1927) compounding a critical focus on ancestral exchanges and the Anthropocene: “Let the mouth of the seas smite us to surrender / that we may grasp the deep significance of crisis.” The piece’s vocal line pulls viewers into a melodic descent, not toward resignation, but into a spiritual register of interconnection—an invitation to reset thorough remembrance and reckoning." -Ladi'Sasha Jones
