muthi reed long bio (500 words)
muthi reed is an ethnographic artist performing ritual in the spiritual technologies of Alabama Black Primitive Baptists, their grandmother's people. Their work is shaped in relationship, modeling Biskaabiiyang, Anishinaabeg meaning the enactment of returning to ourselves. Through practices of cousinage, neighborliness, fellowship, and reminiscing, muthi sources media as light + sound surface and texture for support with real time embodied channeling and collaboration. Their work is designed for altering perception, space, time, positionality and presence through performing complex variations. muthi's archive, krewe coumbite, traces extensive archives of Black family treeing, their own kinfolk’s legends and the wildly rich stories/material of chosen family, and the deep rivers of Black lore. They play with & provide resonance for the archives, making its content a set of creative tools they are constantly in relationship with, adding to, and re arranging. They build their work live in-process as a way of social gathering. They shape a dream culture around a figure they embody named w h y l i n w i l d i n. w h y l i n w i l d i n is a mutual aid assembly reminiscent of the care practices of Black & Brown North Philadelphia folx who raised them while weathering the violences of capitalist urbanization in time with 1980s/1990s crack era... war on drugs... war on crime…. AIDS pandemic epidemic plots. muthi reed conducts their performances by play with machines, making noise, by taking up space by walking, somatic gesture, speech acts, volume, their emotional difficulty, surplus feeling, no safety here, great doubt, a body for what? non binary, trans gender, and neighborliness; w h y l i n w i l d i n restores AWOL to capitalist performance; channeling anti social mutual aid reproduction for an end to empire
