Good Mourning 结哀顺变 is an annual durational performance in Joshua Tree, CA exploring mourning as a relational act and generative force that reimagines queer/feminist futures of co-living, care and survival. While living together, participants make clay vessels that hold grief, rage, and memories and eventually break and bury them in a memory-funeral; write poems on memories of grief through exquisite corpse on rice papers; and rebuild intimacy with the land as a site of colonial violence and witnessing.
