Emily Johnson and Kai Recollet: Kinstillatory Mappings in Light and Dark Matter

Kinstillatory Mappings in Light and Dark Matter is an ongoing collaboration between choreographer, writer, and organizer Emily Johnson and scholar, artist, and writer Kai Recollet. Coming into its eighth year, this season’s Kinstillatory fires organize us around extended time—with one another, with sound, provocation, action.

These kinstillatory fires centering anti-colonial Indigenous, feminist, and gender-expansive care ethics and practices are hosted, held, and lightly curated by Johnson and Recollet, along with invited guests and community partners. The fire is central and communities are invited to GATHER HERE as we articulate our collective futures, our otherwise possibilities. It is a place to bring practices, grammars, and needs forward and through the portals that fire allows. The fire itself is process, a way to bring us out of the catastrophe of now and into the kinstillatory that is care, that is necessary. A provocation, and an offering of seed, of vessel, of protection, of becomingness.
