These three video works, all featured in UOVO Prize-winning artist John Edmonds’ program for Art on the Stoop: Sunset Screenings, explore and complicate rituals within various personal and cultural contexts. Steph Foster’s black-and-white, slow-motion video Libation (2018) reenacts the grieving ritual of pouring out malt liquor from forty ounce bottles, which the artist juxtaposes with archival audio from the funeral of Robert “Yummy” Sandifer, an 11-year-old in 1994 who was killed by a fellow gang member in Chicago. In an offering | six years | a conjecture (2018), Tiona Nekkia McClodden examines cultural representations of Shango, a deity or Orisha in Yoruba religion and the Afro-Cuban religion Santería/Lucumí, alongside her personal spiritual practice. Ka-Man Tse’s Gahp Song (2009-ongoing) is a participatory video project that honors and subverts the custom of giving food to an elder or loved one at the table before serving oneself in a traditional Chinese household. This is the last weekend to see these three videos and more as part of Art on the Stoop: Sunset Screenings, showing on our plaza through November 8, starting at 5pm.Steph Foster (American, born 1992).
