Connect

This is How We Remember is a meditation on loss and wonder - both personal and collective - and our responsibility to remember ourselves to one another in the face of grief. A live multimedia performance featuring original movement by Mary McGrath and Zoe Rabinowitz, music score by Galen Bremer, lighting design by Connor Sale, text, and video projection on found and fabricated objects, the work bears witness to deterioration and transformation. In a period of personal, political, social and environmental dissonance, This is How We Remember offers a space for reflection and revaluation. Director's Note: My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2020. As a displaced and out-of-work artist during this time of global uncertainty, I returned to my childhood home and spent 6 months living with my parents in rural Vermont as we learned to adjust to life with dementia, and widespread disruption. The grief and loss I felt during this period were palpable; yet it also opened me up to an extraordinary amount of beauty that I didnt have - or make - the space to appreciate during my "normal life". As the skies emptied of planes and flowers began to bloom, I found myself in the quietude of nature. I was struck by the abundance of the natural world, and the precarity of our place on the planet as the climate crisis threatens the relationship with our original mother - the earth. At the same time, I was faced with the imminent loss of my own mother. All of these themes come together with the performance of This is How We Remember. Special thanks to the Cape Cod National Seashore in Wellfleet, MA and Champlain Valley, VT; Dragons Egg Residency, Marble House Project, Triskelion Arts, Jonathan Zalben, Shayla Vie Jenkins and Samar Haddad King. The creation of This is How We Remember was supported in part by a grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council.
