Description
The Floods & the Fringes combines a worldbuilding scrapbook with a two-channel video installation, exploring Jeremy Kamal’s speculative universe Mojo, a future where Black cultural practice, technology, and nature co-evolve into speculative ecosystems. Mojo: The Floods depicts a trap producer controlling a watershed through his mixing board, where music sustains ecological cycles of a vast flood plain. Mojo: Stained is set in a fictional tea garden where gangs use colored flora to mark territory and sound to harvest medicinal herbs. The film depicts a dream sequence of a young tea master named Demetrius reliving the memory of being reprimanded by his elder for his fascination with a blue herb; in defiance of the red gang to which he belongs.
