For 2023 Live Artery, jumatatu m. poe will present transitions into terrestrial, sharing images, video, poetics, and movement reflecting on transitions in artmaking and life. Having completed a 10 plus year cycle of research and performance with collaborator Jermone Donte Beacham through the J-Sette focused Let ‘im Move You series, jumatatu is reflecting on the vastness of the voyage, the depth of the lessons on both being and being with that sprang forth from that intimately collaborative series of processes. Currently, jumatatu’s attention is turned toward nobility and indigeneity in early research for the forthcoming terrestrial project.
