An instrument that doesn’t exist yet. A performance that could only happen in one place. Boss Witch Commission gives emerging artists the time, money, and production support to see what an idea can become.
We work across experimental sound, ritual performance, and video. The program grows out of queer, feminist, and decolonial approaches to making work and centers artists from diasporic and other underrepresented communities.
We start with an artist fee and a budget for materials. Then we work with the artist on what the piece needs, from finding a site or a residency to working with a presenter and making a film or recording.
For M.A. Harms, that meant a residency at Coaxial, a performance at Human Resources, and a film with Music For Your Inbox. For mirrored fatality, it meant bringing LABUAD MEKLOOQ to Human Resources, where voices, wearable sculptures, and movement set a live noise score in motion.
