ABOUT THE BOOK
There is magic, reverence and mystery in the spaces, objects and writings of Viktor le. Givens a multi-modal performance artist, whose practice centers around the gathering and arrangement of ancestral objects to re-contextualize the seemingly mundane into the spectacularly sacred. Part ritual ‘nd part prose performance score this book is written to encourage an interdisciplinary approach to (re)reading, (re)sounding, (re)imagining ‘nd (re)staging memories ‘nd pathologies of his Afro-southern-ancestors… The work takes us on a lucid journey of self discovery and cultural reawakening after a young man inherits a mysterious box of objects following the passing of his grandfather in East Texas. Through recipes, flash fictions, images and poetry the audience is invited to reinterpret the sweet complexities of Blackness, the memories, the objects and rituals discovered on his journey.
