颤抖的土地is a queerish Western long poem that engages with politics to reckon with the legacies of violence and colonization in the West. Robles creates intricately cut origami paper images in response to this narrative, while Crowe produces text-based works that have been altered irrevocably by the brutality of the gun. Together the artists fashion a collaborative sculpture which further elucidates shared experiences of loss and the desire to create space for reflection and memory.

MY MONUMENTincludes the participatory websiteGhost Launch地图消失了女权主义者/酷儿/替代书店，并通过公开呼吁提交书店的这些书店的故事，图像和经验。这种互动和代际共享空间的证据将采用史蒂文·莱登·科克伦（Steven Leyden Cochrane）在1C03画廊和汉密尔顿画廊的CAM BUSH的多媒体装置形式。全部四个MY MONUMENTartists will join with Chandra Mayor in front of the former site of Bold Print – The Women’s Bookstore on 478 River Avenue on March 15 in a performative event titledGhost Launchto reanimate that location with public readings and the launch of a chapbook.
