Remembering the Pulse

Remembering the Pulse is inspired by Alexis Pauline Gumbs’s work Dub: Finding Ceremony and Leny Mendoza Strobel’s anthology Babaylan: Filipinos and the Call of the Indigenous. This work combines voice narration (recitation of poetry), sound effects, and field recordings. The intersectional nature of this work seeks to show the parallels between Gumbs and Strobel’s ideas and their influence on my interpretation of ritual, ceremony, and ancestral knowledge.
