PRISM, MIRROR, LENS occurred on November 19th, 2016 at Five Myles Gallery, as part of the BRIC Biennial. The performance addressed current trends in urban transformation and gentrification, and the anxiety inducing effects they have upon individuals and communities within New York City. Subjects of affluence and displacement within neighborhoods are expressed through a sonic infusion of jazz and experimental music; the words of cultural critics, artists and writers; and stylistically through the lens of afro-futurism—which as a cultural aesthetic we found a close kinship to in it’s themes of dystopia and identity politics.

"Seja Marginal, Seja Herói" (Be an outlaw, be a hero) -- Hélio Oiticica A response, an impromptu action/gesture, a mediation, a release, a purge, a cry for help, a cry for hope, a call to build, a call to repair, a Sankofa and a telescope. Pulled from personal text, original music, sound samples, children's toys, musical instruments, household supplies, archival photos and films, 5 Parts of One W(hole): with history repeating itself, will you love me tomorrow? is Hot Hands' fractured yet unified coping mechanism for living in an age of Trump, an age where the intentions, sincerity and purpose of art is perpetually in question, an age where capitalism is the film that coats all and an age where as a society we've seemingly fallen back into even more regimented states of color coded, genital parts, class based hierarchies. And yet, being who we are, holding onto an optimism for the future present. Performed on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, New York.
