Requiem joins Sharbreon’s experience with fabric and textiles and Lance’s expertise in painting, illustration, and sculpture in an interactive installation that visually represents one’s journey into veneration, highlighting how spiritual practice can be made manifest in profound complexity in plain sight—as employed by those before us. The work takes shape as a living altar, inviting viewers to be immersed in a liminal space made alive with coded imagery, sound, and sensory activations that speak to Black diasporic Conjure traditions' deeply complex material and symbolic culture. Textile collages feature visual representations of baneful and protective workings, bookended by illustrations of the divination and spiritual mentorship that guide how we engage nature through supplications. The tableau at the rear of the altar serves as a nod to a Rootworker’s curio. The cathedral window quilt bridges the intersections of Hoodoo, Rootwork, and Black Christianity, framed by hues of blue that call to water as an element and keeper of memory, the protections of indigo, and the history of haint blue. Within this curio lie forms and artifacts that track the retention of spiritual memory across the diaspora: from playing cards and bones to balangandans and mojo bags. We hope those who experience Requiem for Black Survival will be empowered to reflect on the everyday musings of their guides and ancestral kin- knowings directly tied to sources of liberation that can fuel their own survival.
