+ starting performance by Feda Eid in the Mills Gallery:

Plantcestors: Awakening the Sacred

“Out of the sacred, out of the spiritual, out of the ancestral and Indigenous, our Plantcestors continue to protect, nourish and connect us to the land, our bodies and our relationship with ritual, death and birth.

The land and its beings continue to witness the grief and violence of colonialism and imperialism. Eid draws inspiration from writer Layla Feghali in The Land in our Bones: “the [dabke] song becomes a chance for healing through collective grief” and for “transforming in the soulful vocalization and communal witness– not unlike the bitterness of olives and their leaves in their power to heal us.” This ritual performance of Plantcestors will weave through the artworks and threads of the exhibition Attaché, honoring the sacred.”
