Ṣèègèsí (pronounced shay-gay-see) is a durational performance that explores the ritual of hair braiding as a practice of survival. Over 8 hours, performance and visual artist Courtney Desiree Morris will install a set of braid extensions in her hair in the museum. The performance will be accompanied by a soundscape of five mixtapes. Audience members are invited to make offerings of pennies, flowers, sweets, honey, stones/minerals, or shells.
