Base Residency: Constance Strickland

  • Base 6520 5th Ave S Seattle, WA 98108 USA (map)

Please join us at Base on Saturday, July 19 for a work-in-progress showing for Constance Strickland.

During her Base Residency, Constance Strickland will build a physical score for A Study on the Weight of Blackness (Unveils): The Resilience of Being Black, a solo that merges years of movement memory/ research with vocal investigations rooted in her own poetry and text. 
Going through a series of seven movements, Strickland will trace and honor her maternal ancestral heritage, using voice as a vessel for remembrance and reconnection. She will also continue her exploration of sculptural creation using natural materials such as earth, wood, and collected plants. These elements are not merely aesthetic—they are extensions of lineage and land, grounding the work in a tactile relationship to ancestry, ritual, and resilience.
