O TYM ODCINKU
Hinkle/ Yaya introduces her concept of The Keepers and The Seekers in relationship to her residency at the 18th Street Art Center in Los Angeles in 2017. During her residency she worked on her long-term Kentifrica project. Kentifrica is contested geography that Hinkle/Yaya has been developing a research platform for since 2011. Hinkle/Yaya discusses why we hold on to the things we feel compelled to carry and pass down via memory, actions, and the objects that we hold on to. She contemplates larger questions concerning if something or someone can ever truly be erased. Hinkle/Yaya reads from Modern Poets Three: Your Family, Your Body that features the work of Malika Booker, Sharon Olds, and Warsan Shire 2017. She features two poems by Malika Booker: Brixton Market and How Our Bodies Did This Unfamilar Thing.
