Resistance and Reverb: Movements 1 & 2
HALL Arts Hotel
1717 Leonard St., Dallas, TX 75201

Resistance and Reverb: Movements 1 & 2 (2018) is an immersive installation comprised of hundreds of pink tambourines, on permanent view at the HALL Arts Hotel in Dallas, Texas. An instrument of protest frequently appearing in marches and demonstrations since the mid-twentieth century, their pink surfaces evoke the Women’s Marches of January 2017 and moments of feminist activism from the 1980s and 1990s. Dispersed within the cloud of tambourines are fragments of political speeches excerpted from past and present voices of women's resistance–ranging from Sojourner Truth's 1851 speech, "Ain't I a Woman," to Alicia Garza's powerfully succinct message, "Black Lives Matter.” The installation fuses historic and contemporary expressions of activism into a unified statement of solidarity, resilience, and resistance. The distinct elements of the installation represent a multiplicity united in solidarity, yet still retaining individual agency: power placed directly in the hands of the people.
