RITUAL CAUSALITY 001

AUX Performance Space 319 N 11th Street, 3rd Floor, Philadelphia, PA

"Ritual...is a complex of words and actions...it is not the case that words are one thing and the rite another. The uttering of the words itself is a ritual." - Leach

Black Quantum Futurism presents its first 2-hour gallery performance RITUAL CAUSALITY 001 featuring ancient anthropological finds, African/Black Diasporic time and memory rituals, and live sound experiments. Experience BQF theorists discovering the first computer in 100bc, lecturing on Sun Ra synchronicities, and Quantum Mapping our collective futures. RITUAL CAUSALITY 001 is a retrocausal retrospective starting with the latest BQF work, ANTI-KY-THE/RA, then spiraling backwards to the beginning with the NonLocality series. BQF's first exhibition of works will be a multimedia experience that will include dance, sound, projections and speculative literary performances.
