Hidden Lily / Video Projection Mapping and Performance
As part of the Social Weavers project we have created a performance called Hidden Lilly, a series of public events that introduces Social Weavers to an urban audience. Using video projection mapping and narrative performance, the stories from Social Weavers are projected onto architecture of various cultural institutions “free” public space. The goal of Hidden Lily is to engage in a public critical dialogue about the struggles and challenges of the handloom weaving communities we had come to know and bring their voices to the center of this conversation. This narrative was delivered through a long-standing tradition in India of storytelling and performance, along with photographic and video works we created during our visits to the weaving villages. Most recently we were invited to present Hidden Lilly at the Chennai Photo Biennale in March 2019, with collaborator G. Craig Hobbs. The slideshow above documents Hidden Lily, mapped onto the architectural surface of the historic Government College of Fine Arts in Chennai for the Biennale.
