Cauldron of the Secret Self is a multimedia ritualistic performance created by Samantha CC and heavily influenced by Black folk magic traditions such as Hoodoo. These traditions often involve the “calling in” of ancestors as spirit guides. Through this work Samantha explores both the wisdom of her ancestors and the fact that many of them had to use compromise and conformity as survival tactics.

Performance: Cassette Memories
2022-06-11 15:00 - 15:30, 2022-06-11 18:00 - 18:30, 2022-06-12 15:00 - 15:30
Cassette Memories (2004 – ongoing) is a site-specific performance by the Japan-based artist and composer Aki Onda, which will be presented in several community gardens in the Lower East Side. For each iteration of the performance, Onda plays field recordings he considers “sound memories,” collected over the last three decades. The performances occur at places saturated with their own memories; on this occasion, Onda will lead the audience on an auditory tour through multiple gardens in the Lower East Side, a neighborhood he inhabited for several decades. Cassette Memories is an archaeological dig for the history, psyche, and energy of these spaces. The performances are presented in conjunction with Life Between Buildings, a group exhibition at MoMA PS1, which features Onda’s installation Silence Prevails: Lower East Side Community Gardens During the Pandemic.

Here is a link to more info on the performances, from Aki’s website: https://akionda.net/Cassette-Memories
