TURMERIC


DECEMBER 2016 Performance using turmeric and voice

Documentation by Andrew Ellis Johnson.
Following the announcement of Trump’s first round of travel ban for residents of many Muslim-majority countries, I was compelled to react the best way I knew how at the time: through art.

Turmeric is a spice used among all countries affected by the travel ban. It is vivid in color and affects all which it touches, imbuing its bright hue and fragrance; the more you accept and simmer turmeric in a meal, the better it gets.

May we all speak so loud that the house of the spectacle falls.
