“vigil(ia) is an act of healing. A way to keep memories of space generational, as an act of vigilance and vigil between ourselves, our ancestors, history and our relationships to distances in remembrance. Existing in the contexts of the past, present, and futures of “otherness”, vigil(ia) re-engraves the existence of lives affected by colonial, environmental, spacial violence. Through sound, voice, image and alter, the four artists in vigil(ia) engage in vigil and vigilance, becoming archivists, watchers and keepers of their own memory and the continued memories of their loved ones."
