Interdisciplinary artist Helina Metaferia will perform a new iteration of The Willing, a live performance that activates several of her sculptures on view within her solo exhibition at the museum, What We Carry To Set Ourselves Free. During the performance, Metaferia will engage in song, movement, and text while leading a procession throughout the museum and nearby landmarks, including Yerba Buena Gardens and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. This is a culmination of Metaferia’s one year research in Bay Area protest archives, with community engagement across several institutions. She will be joined by Bay Area collaborators, including musical guests, and former participants of her By Way of Revolution workshop, a performance-as-protest gathering for BIPOC femmes, which occurred earlier this year. The performance will be followed by a conversation about the performance and correlating exhibition between Metaferia and Louisa Gloger, executive director of Bolinas Museum.
