NEW ERA DIGESTIBLE PRESENTS: GRAVITY SONG

Gravity Song ephemerally connects artists working in text and performance, and splits into two parts- a wearable garment of poetry and an on-site installation and performance via mild climate in Nashville, TN. 

In researching this site, we became aware of the fraught and complex history of Fort Negley, a civil War-Era Union Fort built by conscript labor from former slaves. Abandoned for years, it has recently been proposed for rezoning. Over time it has been a site of civil action and is symbolic of the communities and culture that have been birthed through self-determination and struggle. We hope to occupy this liminal space to find new points of reconciliation between its past and its future.
