Join us in the ICA auditorium for coffee, tea, and conversation as we glimpse into the dynamic research process for the documentary, Resume at the Point of Interruption. Artist dana washington-queen will be joined by midwife Racha Tahani Lawler Queen, designer and musician Colin Palmer, and sound artist John Dombroski. In a roundtable they will discuss the documentary’s research, production, and themes.
This experimental documentary, which lends the exhibition its title, follows Black individuals—including the artist—as they intuit and improvise their ways through the world. In the chapter on washington-queen, we see the queer non-binary photographer receiving hormone replacement therapy and meditating on themes of gender, difference, constraint, and freedom, and how they experienced the limits and possibilities of all those things while playing basketball growing up and negotiating their identity as an adult.
