ATLANTA: please join us this Sunday at 6:30 PM as vocalist Moni Que choreographer lauri stallings and musician Kebbi Williams spatially and sonically activate Atlanta Beltline beginning at Atlanta Beltline Market across 90 minutes of live art. The artists will be joined by an ensemble of community vocalists and dancers for a people processional work that explores the poetics of intimacy, social touch, and the weight of shared physical spaces.
Beltline and glo Platform will have a water station along the 90 - minute procession, beginning and ending at Atlanta Beltline Market . There are no tickets required as the public art work is free and public to all. We are listening to our advisors, and the distant rain sounds. We hope to gather Sunday, and have a rain date on hold, friends.
Making Kin explores American artist Lonnie Holley’s album, “keeping a record of it,” as a site to extend from the past to create a portal to new perspectives, community, and what’s left behind. We are artists dedicated to experimentation and engaged with sculptural performance and the live moment from the perspective of belonging. What do you choose to carry that carries you? is a question we aim to explore. The rhythmic language of Making Kin is a complex of microtonal scales and harmonies, Atlanta Improvisers Orchestra experiments with vernacular, tuning in. At the same time, the work will involve handmade instruments called Abraka flutes created by Williams, and choreographies of diverse slow- footed relational ways by stallings – movement choirs, flocking patterns reminiscent of Georgia red-winged black birds.
We are grateful to Atlanta Beltline for the commission of this work. Making Kin is made possible with support of a LAB Residency, High Museum of Art. Making Kin is made possible with support of Winston Taylor and Beloved Community Inc, and Dorian McDuffie, Office of Design, City of Atlanta. This project is made possible with residency support Goat Farm
See you soon everybody 💫
