fORUM is Mercer Union’s ongoing series of talks, lectures, interviews, screenings, and performances.
The movement-based practice of Justine A. Chambers explores collaborative creation, close observation, and the idea of choreography as a living archive. Her interest in the choreography of the everyday often informs the performances she develops through periods of gestation and iteration. Responding to artist Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill’s reflections on berry picking as an intergenerational and familial activity, Chambers’ will activate the transmission, traceability, and transformation of such rituals as embodied forms of knowledge and record keeping.
