In the shadow of the pandemic the distances of our internal worlds collapsed as we experienced isolation, while the space between each other grew and in doing so new relations between our bodies, understanding, and the ever-changing were brought to light. In that yawn between ourselves a fracture in our normative modes of meaning making, opened up. We may have had to find new ways to understand our relationships and to cultivate them, in isolation we may have had to make space for ourselves to struggle and understand shifts in our internal worlds, and we bore witness to new imaginaries of the future. PRECEDENT then is meant to be a space held to leverage the artistic vision against those collective and individual experiences and to use performance as catharsis, sight, and potentiality. By bringing together a group of artists to explore themes of impermanence, the body, and understanding we hope to elevate a contemplative space where we can collectively process and reimagine that distance between each other and in ourselves.
