Protest Grammars: What Is This Gesture? explores the Lagos Lagoon in Nigeria as a site where geology, knowledge, and history are continuously shaped through relation. Resident Artist Maryam Kazeem invites participants to record their thoughts about protest in the future and watch their words initiate the energy that powers The Future Protest—a typewriter that spins a miniature trash-wheel in the Lagos Lagoon. Through this real-time encounter, audiences are invited to observe the lagoon as a geological space shaped by language and contemplate the surrealism of protest and poetic gestures.
Protest Grammars with CultureHub Resident Artist Maryam Kazeem will begin at 11:30AM EST.
IN-PERSON: Join us at 47 Great Jones Street between Bowery and Lafayette on the 3rd floor (elevator accessible). Due to the blizzard on Monday, the installation is still in-progress. Please still feel welcome to come to the studio to experience Protest Grammars in-person. The space will open at 11am and the exchange will begin at 11:30am.
ONLINE: Here is the link: https://broadcaster.livelab.app/LPG. We will begin the event and telematic exchange at 11:30AM EST. Make sure you're online by then to get the whole experience.
