Artists-In-Presidents: Transmissions to Power – Outro Message

The Outro Message to “Artists-In-Presidents: Transmissions to Power” is a soundscape bringing together messages from across the 21 episodes, and new reflections from contributors on their participation in the project. In this immersive composition, voices from throughout “Artists-In-Presidents” speak to the challenges of performing power, the local contexts and conditions underpinning their messages, and the urgency to reimagine leadership. Over the past four months, twenty-one transmissions and portraits from artists, activists, public intellectuals, and writers have radically reimagined political power and possibility. This international assembly of contributors were invited to position themselves as world leaders who speak directly to the people, describing their vision for the future and how we get there. Together, they compose a rousing collection of imaginative proposals for the leadership we need in this moment of crisis and possibility. Produced and composed by Olivia Bradley-Skill. Excerpted clips from transmissions and interviews by Raji Aujla, Roy Dib, Irmgard Emmelhainz, Macarena Gómez-Barris, Emily Johnson, Cheryl L’Hirondelle, Mkomose (Dr. Andrew Judge), Raqs Media Collective, Fariha Róisín, Adrian Stimson, Melati Suryodarmo, Paulo Tavares, Françoise Vergès, Ravyn Wngz.

Transmission: Constance Hockaday

“We can’t lose sight of the fact that we need each other, especially because we don’t have precisely the same experiences, feelings, or words.” As the twenty-first and final contributor to Artists-in-Presidents, project initiator Constance Hockaday shares a message calling for care, generosity, and understanding. Hockaday advocates for a qualified sense of unity; she acknowledges the imperfect and messy nature of working together, while suggesting that the very act of building and maintaining relationships is prefatory to social and political change. “Artists-in-Presidents” is curated by Christine Shaw, and commissioned by The Blackwood (University of Toronto Mississauga). Podcast production by Vocal Fry. Transmissions are released every Friday from August 6–December 17, 2021. To view the portrait gallery, access ASL videos and transcripts, and for additional information about the project, visit www.artistsinpresidents.com and www.blackwoodgallery.ca. Constance Hockaday is a queer Chilean-American from the US/Mexico Border. She is a director and visual artist who creates immersive social sculptures on urban waterways. She has worked with the Floating Neutrinos since 2001, and collaborated with Swoon’s Swimming Cities projects, sailing floating sculptures along the Hudson, Mississippi, and the Adriatic Sea (2006–09). In 2011, she created The Boatel, a floating art hotel in New York’s Far Rockaways made of refurbished salvaged boats—an effort to reconnect New Yorkers to their waterfront. Her 2014 piece All These Darlings and Now Us highlighted the displacement of San Francisco’s queer community: more than 1000 people watched peep show performances on a raft of retrofitted sailboats featuring artists from two recently shuttered iconic queer businesses. Hockaday holds an MFA in Social Practice and MA in Conflict Resolution. She is also a Senior TED Fellow and an artist-in-residence at The Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA. Photo: Max Knight

Transmission: Raqs Media Collective

“There is an urgency to save our time from becoming the cost of business.” Raqs Media Collective’s trio-logue binds economics to climate change, extinction, and extractivism. They stress the externalized costs of our accepted capitalist logics: including extreme weather, species extinction, and language loss. In content and form, the Collective wryly critique the “rationality” of economic thinking, shedding light on its many casualties. “Artists-in-Presidents” is initiated by Constance Hockaday, curated by Christine Shaw, and commissioned by The Blackwood (University of Toronto Mississauga). Podcast production by Vocal Fry. Transmissions are released every Friday from August 6–December 17, 2021. To view the portrait gallery, access ASL videos and transcripts, and for additional information about the project, visit www.artistsinpresidents.com and www.blackwoodgallery.ca. Raqs Media Collective was formed in 1992 in Delhi, India. The word “raqs” in several languages denotes an intensification of awareness and presence attained by whirling, turning, and being in a state of revolution. Raqs Media Collective take this sense to mean “kinetic contemplation” and a restless entanglement with the world, and with time. Raqs enlists objects such as an early-modern tiger-automata from Southern India, or a biscuit from the Paris Commune, or a cup salvaged from an ancient Mediterranean shipwreck, to turn them into devices to sniff and taste time. Devices and modalities are also played with to undertake historical subterfuge and philosophical query. Raqs practices across several media; making installation, sculpture, video, performance, text, lexica, and curation. Photo: Vicky Roy
