Residency
Written By Elsewhere Living Museum & Artist Residency

For his residency project, Justus Harris subtly transformed Guadalupe Martinez’s Apothecary installation into a stage set for a performance that involved inviting participants to co-create improvised performances that blend the personal and the fictitious. These performances were guided by a screenplay Scenes from Sonship Pass, written by Harris’s uncle, that tells the story of a character caught between countries, states of health and tense social and family conflict.
