About This Project

YET YOU ARE EVERYWHERE is a living altar honouring the body as a sacred site of memory and resistance. Created through slow processes of craft and adornment, it activates the history of the sash as a form of embodied protest art. This work is dedicated to my lineage of dance ancestors: Francis Nash, Zahra Shahab, jes sachse, and Deborah Charlie, whose practices were rooted in queer, trans, BIPOC, disabled, and low-income communities. The installation also invites viewers to honour their own ancestors through the creation of origami butterflies—symbols of transformation and spirit forms to take home or to contribute to the altar. YET YOU ARE EVERYWHERE choreographs our bodies into slow gestures of care, tending to personal and collective grief.
