CHORUS: Ode to Temperance - MEADOW

MEADOW Gallery 4 November 2023 
MEADOW Gallery

Chorus is a spoken word event, as part of Jones' solo show  Ode to Temperance installation where art is not just seen but felt.

 

Jones'  vivid tapestry of sculptures, paintings, videos, and mixed-media are more than an installation; it’s a journey into the depths of untold stories, a tribute to the resilient spirit of marginalized communities. It’s a celebration of the temperance that black women have exhibited throughout history, and a salute to their enduring strength.

This is a celebration like no other, honoring the triumph over colonial chains and the rebirth of cultures long overshadowed. Roisin’s work is a beautiful blend of Afro-futurism and Black feminist thought, a homage to the past with eyes set on a future unbound.

And in the midst of this mesmerizing world, experience the magic of “Chorus.” Here, spoken word artists breathe life into the gallery, weaving tales of homeland, personal truths, and confessions. This is more than a performance; it’s the rekindling of oral traditions, a symphony of voices echoing through time and space.
