James Jordan Johnson

Largely Developed through Kevin Quashie’s writing, The Trouble With Publicness: Toward a Theory of Black Quiet, Something is Trying to Disappear Me is a durational performance concerned with thinking about a way to make known a method of Black interiority, or in other words a sense of self-determined stillness within a performance based context and how slowness as a modality can be viewed within Blackness. It is from this viewpoint that Blackness and its social relationship to bodily display has determined Black physical aliveness and gesture. Taking this historical and racialised wage and framework that demands Black performance to sustain an unwavering level of physical and athletic mastery, is rendered as a methodological void within the performance.
