During the opening weekend of María Magdalena Campos-Pons: Behold, the artist debuted this new immersive performance titled, “A Mother’s River of Tears.”
Drawing on ancestral rituals from the Yoruba people, the performance is a manifestation of many healing themes mirrored in the exhibition. Specifically, this performance commemorates Black men and women, like George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, whose lives were taken as a result of systemic racism or police brutality.
Watch highlights from this performance and hear from Campos-Pons as well as her composer and sound architect, Kamaal Malak, to learn more about the meaning and making of this special performance.
