Description:
Gabrielle Civil makes black feminist performance art in Mexico to explore--and expand--the parameters of her own body, artistic process, heritage, and culture. In and Out of Place archives her vibrant 2008-2009 Fulbright project and activates her trajectory as a black woman artist in the world.
Review Quotes: "In and Out of Place is like catching a rainbow between your hands: what does it mean to capture impossible thresholds of the self? of lived and ephemeral artistic practice? of a place and time in transition? Gabrielle Civil intertwines knowing and not knowing, logging her daily life in Mexico alongside the imagined chronicle of the forgotten (or unwritten, or unrevealed). This book is half of every conversation you wish you could know more of--now you can, just lean in."
--Chloë Bass, artist and creator of Wayfinding
