LEIMAY Intensives
Conceived and directed by Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist duo, and Chelsea Factory Resident Artist duo Ximena Garnica & Shige Moriya of LEIMAY, Extinction Rituals is inspired by acts of remembrance celebrating the life and loss of animals, plants and environments from the places they call home—Japan, Colombia, and NY.
Extinction Rituals is an ever-evolving project, with various manifestations incorporating movement, song, spoken word, music, and visual storytelling to create short rituals honoring extinct species.
This December at Chelsea Factory, Extinction Rituals – Video Installation will offer a meditative exploration of enigmatic landscapes, ranging from Colombia’s Gorgona Island to Japan’s frozen Akan Lake. It will also feature communities from the Colombian Pacific coast and LEIMAY dancers in visual poems, as offerings to those species who have ceased to exist.
