Keioui Keijaun Thomas’ new series of video poems/performances were filmed during, around and throughout the current global pandemic. In this series, Thomas reimagines how we can hold each other; care for ourselves; and honor our time and energy, while moving through uncharted territories with a plethora of possibilities. Each act was filmed and edited by/with one friend, creating portals to new worlds where black and brown trans people are able to thrive, heal, and transcend. Taking up space. This is a love letter; a gentle reminder; a kiss up into the sky; a guiding light for black and brown femmes to know that we are here. We have always been here. Everything the light and shadow touches is ours, too.
