Memory Material organized with June Canedo de Souza.
Watch Yatta Zoker perform inside of their immersive installation "the space between my heart and mind is where I’ve always lived". "the space between my heart and mind is where I’ve always lived" was featured in the program Memory–Material at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. Memory–Material was an experimental archive of migration stories. In its subjective approach, the weeklong program called on multiple artists, together with their collaborators and communities, to adorn the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA with biographical material that will interpret individual, collective, global, and local experiences of migration.
