Since absconding from Texas to New York City in early 2003, Dragonfly aka Robin LaVerne Wilson has lived many lifetimes as an artist-activist. In this talk she will survey: how 20 foundational years in San Antonio shaped her worldview; highlights of her character work and eclectic career (including a few arrests and an accidental run for senator of New York state); and culmination of these influences into her current work. She will conclude with highlights of ABSCONDED PROJECT--a hybrid living statue / moving monument / public ritual to honor Ona Judge who self-emancipated herself from Martha and George Washington. ---------- LINK IN INSTAGRAM BIO ---------- My ties to San Antonio span from 1983-2003. It was the last few years of my time there where "Dragonfly" was born as a performance artist. I view this artist talk as a soft relaunch of my Texas life as the uncertainty and economic fugitivity of the COVID-era will likely lead to an inevitable and indefinite return from NYC in early 2021. In fact, this process has me remembering and reclaiming my foundational legacies. Join via Zoom or FB Livestream. FB Livestream will appear on event page.

Metamorphosizing... Is that a word? Who cares. I like it. Dragonflies emerge with wings after being submerged under water for most of their lives. I'm coming up for air. Pandemics make or break folks. I'm remaking what was broken. Flying. SOARING! Arting as fast as I can to save my own life. Did I mention that I'm a new cat mom? Meowrrrrrr...😺 It's gonna be a loooooong winter. You ready? You good? https://www.instagram.com/p/CIU-WGMlIAs/?igshid=1ck07ktjy4t3i
