FREEE for Woman-Life-Freedom

This Karstic-action piece is in solidarity with the Women of Iran. I am deeply inspired by their antediluvian strength resurfacing with force & clarity in their courageous actions. The text I wrote & that plays over the video (with music by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte) is loosely based on a Hymn to ...

Yesterday I visited El Jardín del Paraiso and met Yesterday I visited El Jardín del Paraiso and met with wonderful folks that are involved with the upcoming event #chaharshanbesuri  ie: The Fire Jumping Festival happening on Tuesday. I hv signed up to go to it . It sounds amazing and coming from a culture that also make fires (Brandons in the Pyrenees) I am very curious.
I met with the earth artist @areshearth who was installing the sculpture, assisted by Lissette @childrensmagicalgarden and Lola.
Also met with @disernannie who has been involved with this Lower Eastside Paradise for 40 years!
I wanted to get a sense of the place before finalizing my property for the Earth Celebration performance action I will do there on May 14th. 
Thank you for the warm welcome 🙏🏼 and see you Tuesday , there is still tickets accessible with donation here: https://moregardensfund-bloom.kindful.com/e/chaharshanbesuri2023?blm_aid=2280449

نیکول پیرافیته، شاعر و هنرمند چندرشته‌ای ساکن نیویورک است که آثار و اجراهای منحصربه‌فردش در اقصی نقاط جهان به نمایش گذاشته می‌شود. او سروده‌ای را که ترجمه‌اش در ادامه می‌آید در همین ماه اکتبر امسال در همبستگی با زنانِ حق‌طلبِ ایران و مردانی که از آنها پشتیبانی می‌کنند، نوشته است و اجرای ویژه‌ی خود از آن را نیز که در ویدیو مشاهده می‌کنید، تقدیم این زنان کرده و ویدیو را به دست ما رسانده است تا صدایی از صداهای جنبش «زن، زندگی، آزادی» باشد:

آه، آه، ای زنان ایران!
زنانِ باستان!
ستیزِ بر حقِ‌ شما نقش می‌زند بر کتیبه‌ها 
با اثری شگرف
و غرّشی رعشه‌افکن در جهان
تهورتان گِرداگِردِ زمین پُرطنین 
استقامت‌تان اِعجاب‌افزا
شما همه انهدوانا
همه کاهنانِ عالی مقامِ آزادی
من همه مدح و ثنا
شما الهام‌بخش
شما حد اعلای زن بودگی بر زمین و در آسمان‌ها
بگذارید مدّاحِ راه‌تان باشم
بگذارید ثنا‌گوی شوکت‌تان
بادا که اینانا، خداوندگارِ زمین و آسمان‌ها بخشد نیرویتان 
بادا که گردبادِ آزادی
تنها پوشاکِ اجباری بر گیسوی‌تان 
خسته نباشید خواهران
خسته نباشید خواهران
خسته نباشید!
خسته نباشید!
مرسی!

Thank you @redfoxpress.ireland to do such a splendid job publishing “Connection en Millefeuille”. 
“Connection en Mille-Feuille” was my daily companion from 21 November 2021 to 15 January 2022 for side one, & from 17 January to February 13 2022 for side two.
Since the mid 90s I keep & carry “carnets” — 2 already published by Redfox press — or a field notebook wherever I go. The size & shape depends, but the Leporello format is one of my favorites. As is the case with all these, the marks are always in direct relation with what I see, read, listen to, question, study or/and want to remember to feed my artistic quest. I have seen & photographed all the birds drawn on this pages. The main writings are from readings or lectures by Donna Haraway, Susan Simard, Betsy Damon, Native American dictionaries & history books, geological studies of where I live in Bayridge, Brooklyn. The terminal moraine where I saw most of these birds always reminds me that “the job is to go beyond what we know”. Like exquisite layered pastry, whether it is about the ground beneath us, the birds we see, the books we read, the people we talk to... all are composed of discrete layers of (often) imperceptible but rich & complex formations.

“Connection en Millefeuille “ was part of the installation “Antediluvian Sympoiesis” at  SAPAR Contemporary 
part of the summer 2022 exhibition:
Women and Other Wild Creatures: Matrilineal Tales
