Domestic Matters: Distilling Geographies, Identities and Boundaries
CLOSES THIS WEEK
 
Tuesday, March 1st through Thursday, March 31st 
Domestic MattersDomestic Matters explores the intimate geographies and everyday life practices in the Agrarian South. Combining mixed media, moving bodies and constructions of recycled materials and familiar spaces, the company entertains questions of art as a necessity and the embodiment of socio-cultural norms, socio-economics and constructions of identity. 

Using materials (tar, reclaimed wood, corrugated metal, house paint, photographs), dancing bodies, stories and recipes of the South, Domestic Matters works with memory, displacement, concepts of home, and the complexities of gender, race, and sexuality.
