The Archipelago
About the Work
The Archipelago nourishes the process of creative association, orienting through movement, visual gestures, and poetic intention. The 27 “islands” in the score welcome participants from multiple artistic modalities to gather together, embracing states of fluidity, openness and uncertainty in order to find connection and resonance. The piece is inspired by Martinican philosopher Édouard Glissant’s writings about the world as an archipelago— a necessary antidote to the territorial and expansionist legacies of the continental imagination. What emerges when we explore the profound fluidity of the spaces within, between, and around us?
