| Item Description: | First edition. Edition of 500. "Inspired by Audre Lorde's concept of biomythography, kosoko mixes personal history, biography, and mythology to tell a complex narrative rooted within a queer, Black, self-defined imagination. This collection of intertextual performance acts captures the ephemeral data of kosoko's live performances. Developed out of their ongoing, multi-media live art project, American Chameleon, and elaborating on the artist's unique practice of Socio-Choreological Mapping as a means to explore queer theories of the body and its 'hydraulics of grief,' this book offers critical-creative frames to consider the fluid identities and life-worlds embedded inside contemporary Black America.
