Before the Volcanoes Sing: A Conversation with Clarissa Tossin
In her film Before the Volcanoes Sing, Clarissa Tossin traces the movement of Maya people and culture across multiple spaces and temporalities. For its presentation in the Whitney Biennial, the film is installed alongside 3D-printed replicas of pre-Columbian Maya wind instruments. These replicas appear in the film and were played for its score. Their aural and physical presence demonstrate what pre-Columbian ritual objects can offer us despite ongoing and layered processes of displacement and translation.
This program brings Tossin together with her collaborators who created the replica instruments and the music for the film to discuss their process and their respective contributions. Speakers include anthropologist Jared Katz, flautist Alethia Lozano Birrueta, and composer Michelle Agnes Magalhaes. The conversation will be moderated by Marcela Guerrero, DeMartini Family Curator.

Karyn Olivier’s work often examines loss and absence, signaled here in the weathered elements of her sculptures, including driftwood, buoys, worn clothing, broken traps, and commercial fishing rope. The artist selects these objects for their symbolism, as well as for the histories they carry, bringing past into present. Stop Gap, the title of one work presented here, packs clothing discarded by...

In Pollinator, Tourmaline proposes “that the truth of life is its ongoingness, its essence unchanged and unconstrained by space, time, or physical form.” In some scenes of the film, the artist walks through a garden in a floral headdress-seemingly equal parts generator and receiver of creative forces-and floats on a zero-gravity flight. Additional footage features the funeral procession and com...

it’s annoying that the people in the audience can’t keep their mouths shut while he’s trying to protect our country and expose these fascists acts which ended up being used to commit crimes against humanity. Wake up people!
Well now the criminal deep state is targeting innocent Americans 24/7 and using directed energy weapons on them. See Targeted Justice headed for the Supreme Court. We demand to be heard in court!!!!!!
Awesome! Insightful!
I loved watching this film!

When I need to be told how ashamed I should be about our history I always turn to white liberal women from Manhattan. Hoppers legacy can even withstand these cultists.
I like this. Thanks for sharing.

Very moving👍
This is so inspiring, making art with experimental materials requires a whole team and close collaboration!
I’m very interested ! Ralph berman( watercolor )

Amazing David's view on being born into social structures. Such a current view today. I am reading the book now and can't remember where I got the recommendation. Great read. Great time capsule. Great artist.
NSA MUST be nice 2 have money like that. 2 cranes building above the ground like that holy crap. That is eye opener.
Why does it look like the video with the women fbi looked like she was a robot and the guy behind her controling her just weird. I like science fiction as ypu can tell.

I love Alex.
Wonderful!
such a gorgeous video
These older whistles blowers fight against and understood how bad the Cold War enemies were… and they saw how our country began to mutate into a similar harsh security state
i hope that laura and jordan have come to see how great Jeff still is :)
This is so inspiring for me. ❤❤❤❤❤
Very Nice video - however like most Marsha P Johnson (we knew her as Ms Marsha) Did not throw the 1st brick and didnt get to Stonewall till hours after it started - listen to Making Gay History the interview w/Marsha herself. Ty

Great
ain't no way this chick really has "Lavender" on her drivers license
My good friend Will Kohler grew up in NY in the 70s/80s and used to talk about the Christopher Street pier all the time. I am glad this segment of history is being preserved. Continue to RIP Will🌈💔
I really can't stand the way folks totally rewrite the history of the Stonewall Riots to make it entirely the efforts of Rivera and Johnson. That is complete bullshit revisionist history and anyone there, including Rivera and Johnson themselves when they were alive, will tell you it's bullshit. It takes a queer community, then as now, to make a queer revolution. Everyone was pissed, not just Rivera and Johnson. Folks still dispute who threw the first bottle. Some say Stormy started the riots when she said to the crowd of onlookers "What are you doing to DO about it?" This obsessive focus on praising these two individuals at the expense of building an actual movement of queers to win liberation needs to end (cuz we still ain't liberated, kids; the democrats prefer to commit genocide in Gaza and provoke World War III in Ukraine rather than codify Trump nominee Gorsuch's 2020 ruling that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act also covers claims based on sexual orientation and gender identity, the most RADICAL victory for queer working people since the Stonewall Riots). The many many folks who picked up the baton and built the first radical queer organizations, including the protest in support of women prisoners (including Assata Shakur) just a month later, deserve credit for making Stonewall a thing to remember. Stonewall wasn't the firs riot and it wouldn't be the last. So do the many straight folks, including straight black men from Harlem, who heard that people were fighting the cops and wanted to help.
This the machete professor? lmao - way to destroy your credibility as an "artist"
So amazing.
Never lived in NYC, but I knew about the piers through friends and boyfriends who had experienced the area. This installation is evocative and compelling and like what was said here, will hopefully spur the curious to learn more about queer history.
Love Love Love
So much anti-gay revisionist history in this video.
sad to not see Hilma af klint
I’m 58 my grandaughter is Bi Sexual , and one of my grandsons is gay , although he hasnt said anything to anyone . I’m horrified to think parents could throw there kids out for being gay , I’ve seen documentaries about parents not accepting there sons ashes as he was gay and died of AIDS , omg first and foremost in life , a Woman is a mother , we love out children unconditionally . No matter what sexual preferences they have , I do understand that in the 80s when aids came out parents were ashamed and embarrassed , even the men dying of aids some themselves were shamed into hiding there health , if you’re neighbours will hate you for having a gay son , move houses , the neighbour isnt that good of a friend if they hate you’re gay son or daughter , im disabled and riddled with arthritis , but I’m at the front on Pride Day on my mobility scooter , which my husband and grandaughter put these big stickers on so my scooter is pride colours , and my massive Tshirt saying I’m. Proud Grandmother of gay grandchildren , I was born 1966 so in the early 80s I was a teenager and didn’t understand it all , but I’m telling you , if it happened now , I’d be first at the hospital door , giving these people food , water there medications, bed baths the lot , not one gay man will suffer on my watch , they lay in there beds while nurses wouldn’t touch them , pass there food to them , they just needed a hand to hold , a person to hug , F--K AIDS . I’m a hugger and hand shaker , and I’d be making those people feel loved , Kudos to those wards that opened in hospitals especially for aids patients to help them , my heart bleeds to think thousands of men died alone because people wouldn’t help them . 😢😢😢
subtitles are not in sync with the sound of the video, could you fix that?
Writing an essay at school on her!! 😁
Vital information and a wealth of knowledge on women artists, many thanks
very helpful recap and q&a. JQTSS's work deserves much consideration and thought that this video facilitates
actually they weren't there that night at stonewall.. we already saw that on another documentary tho... Marsha wasn't even on that side of town at the time,.
I'm shocked at the rewriting and romanticisation of the 1960s through the 1980s, to cast aside the words and actions of our elders. It's not healthy to do this and to view everything through a 2020s lens - especially was the people that were there are still alive. The only people whose voices matter are those that experienced it.
What a pity that I couldn’t be there to see that exhibition.
