PERIPHERY

Black Pearl De Almeida Lima, Kameron Locke, and Litchi Ly Friedrich created Periphery as a meditation on friendship, connection, being, solitude, and coming together again during a pandemic. This work expresses building a space where individuality and togetherness can coexist in 2021.

Together, they challenged the expectations of people of color with the multidimensional aspects themselves. Call and response, dance, song and voice, audio fragments, and video were combined to reflect this verbal and nonverbal conversation.

This work was created during their subs_dance residency in Mannheim and performed at the former club turned performance venue Disco Zwei. The artists reiterated their project in Berlin's SAVVY Contemporary and Heizhaus PSR and Posttheater in Arnhem.
