ERROR // ist seeks to mine queer universes from the contexts of a Brown embodied experience. Here, my understanding of how Brownness works is mine. This project is situated. It takes place in the day-to-day happenings of my life – through prayer, wudhu and washing, vocalizing, resting, breathing, and so on. It exists through the Brown and browned bodies that have (in)formed the ways that I think, know, and believe. It is a project from love, of the body, of my self, of my communities, and of God. Furthermore, this performance intends to produce a space where Brownness can be normative – or un-queered. This means two things. (1) I am invested in creating a space that allows for individual specificity while also being capacious enough to allow for universes of possibilities. It is meant to be engaged with by many. (2) I seek to queer European colonial epistemological traditions (of categorization, race, war, state, commodification, etc) through centering Brown world-making through performance (Kapadia 2018; Munoz 2020). For Kapadia, “Indeed it is this mode of queerness that we might elaborate in our work by employing reading practices that denaturalize or queer that is, make strange processes like security and warfare that rely upon the presumption of their naturalness” (2016).
