‘Pariah’: An Important and Untold Story of Identity
'Pariah' tells a powerful, mesmerizing, and unflinchingly honest story of identity.
Anti-Objects, or Space Without Path or Boundary (2017)
The title of this video, taken from the texts of the architect Kengo Kuma, suggests a way of looking at everything as “interconnected and intertwined” - such as the historical and the present and the tool and the artifact. Images and representations of two structures in the Portland Metropolitan Area that have direct and complicated connections to the Chinookan people who inhabit(ed) the land are woven with audio tapes of one of the last speakers of chinuk wawa, the Chinookan creole. These localities of matter resist their reduction into objects, and call anew for space and time given to wandering as a deliberate act, and the empowerment of shared utility.

Hustlers Should’ve Hustled More!
