Skills (Pandemic Version)
Skills is part of an ongoing video art series that depicts a woman juggling a soccer ball in high heels. The work is meant as a feminist performance that refers to multi-tasking and the myriad labors that women are expected to undertake (simulanteously). This version has been colorized to refer to the ongoing threat of coronavirus and the incessant need, since the onset of the pandemic, to be hyper-aware of one's body temperature. The work is meant as a homage to the women, mothers, daughters, sisters— and our femme allies—who have been struggling to juggle all their responsibilites during the pandemic (as well as before).
We see you. Thank you.
