Lagoon Grammars

Lagoon Grammars: What Is This Gesture? unfolds as an immersive reading performed alongside moving images of The Future Protest—a typewriter in the Lagos Lagoon that powers a miniature trash-wheel, which is activated by a speculative archive of protest.
Writer and Resident Artist Maryam Kazeem performs experimental prose that incorporates her research about the Lagos Lagoon and process of designing The Future Protest. The multi-vocal reading includes recordings from participants in Lagos and New York who speak of water and resistance, forming a polyphonic reflection on how gestures of resistance move, circulate, and endure.
This project is supported within the CultureHub Residency program.
