Juni One Set : "Boy mother / faceless bloom" Trailer

Dia and New York Live Arts present the New York premiere of Boy mother / faceless bloom, a stage work by Juni One Set, the collaboration between Senga Nengudi, yuniya edi kwon, and Haruko Crow Nishimura and Joshua Kohl of Degenerate Art Ensemble. The performance is presented in conjunction with the long-term exhibition of Nengudi’s work on view at Dia Beacon, and will take place at New York Live Arts from November 16 to 18 as part of Performa Biennial 2023. A Stay Late conversation moderated by Matilde Guidelli-Guidi, Dia’s curator and co-department head, will be held on Friday, November 17. Tickets for the performances are available for purchase here.
Threading mythology and autobiography, while drawing from diverse lineages of queer, anti-colonial, and care-based artistic practices, Boy mother / faceless bloom is an interdisciplinary performance work. Dance, music, poetry, ritual, and sculptural installation converge to tell a story of transformation, transgression, and the formation of new transcestral lines. The piece premiered at the Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, Colorado Springs, on February 24, 2022, and was subsequently presented at the Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati in April 2022.
