Keioui Keijaun Thomas investigates and embodies resistance, asking: "How do we resist temptation, how do we slow down, how do we play, how do we survive?" She traverses a multimedia installation, combining structural fragments of environments associated with labor, ritual, and hospitality such as locker rooms, strip clubs, waiting rooms, church pews, and field days. Investigating forms through which black and brown people hold space for each other, the artist asks how to carry the multiplicities of being young, gifted, and Black. Powerfully engaging with the entangled histories of labor, subjugation, and resistance.
