Memory Fleet is a continually expanding, episodic, migrating performance that builds an alternative archive for the preservation of shared memories and stories that center the work/rest & past/future of the Black people who have mothered and mentored Jasmine Hearn’s artistic trajectory as an organizer, storyteller, dancer, and performer. Memory Fleet encompasses a series of performances, a shared embodied practice, a living archive, and a body of original sound, text, and recipes—all celebrating the stories, dances, and gestures passed on through Black intergenerational lineages.
