You are cordially (un)invited

You are cordially (un)invited is a series of ceremonies dedicated to the years I have survived. This project consists of a durational performance, installation, and event. It is an aspirational gesture to send off the part of myself–who had to compromise, comply, and negotiate with institutions–for a rebirth to live beyond survival.
