«When I Say Vision I Don’t Mean Dream» approaches female, femme, feminized, feminist, non-binary, queer of color counter mythologies.  Visions and imaginative acts which circumvent whiteness and the white gaze as central. (Collective) acts and stories of refusal, withdrawal and privacy – diverting towards what Hortense Spillers has called the «Black intramural», the community’s internal engagements.  A shifting of the center. Gestures and acts of imagination which speak to and from, listen and respond to and from the other centers. To and from here.  No explanation is given. Codes are kept codes. Refusing translation. Keeping what is explosive, explosive. Toni Morrison says about her novel «Paradise» being banned from Texas prison libraries: «It seemed like an extraordinary compliment that «Paradise» could actually blow up into a riot in a prison. The thing I am interested in is the perception of certain kinds of novels as not just explosive in a dangerous sense, but explosive in a way that could be lethal.»
«When I say vision, I don’t mean dream » was performed live at OOR Saloon in February 2018.
