Mobius Spiderweb is proud to present Mithsuca Berry in an online presentation Sunday, March 6 at noon.
Spiderweb envisions the vast number of artists throughout the city of Boston as potential individual threads of a web to which Mobius can connect and then act as a connection point for others.
“My name is Mithsuca Berry. I am an artist, educator, and storyteller based currently in Cambridge, MA. Throughout my practice I’ve transformed what creating art means to me. Each of my pieces marks an epiphany in my journey of healing trauma - as it relates to existing as a black queer/non-binary person. Art has been the intersection between my broken inner child and intuitive/spiritual self. It serves a role kinda like: How do I create an archive of imagery, recording the complex emotions that surface in my lifetime? I then sketch/write/RELEASE those examples into the world, for others who resonate to connect with. That places healing within me, but also in places that will exist beyond me.
My art has supported me through several spiritual deaths. Each one shedding any restrictions living in a whit/cis/hetero dominated society has placed on my body. Society has always struggled with believing people like me exist, making my journey of coming into self inherently spiritual. My self love, my healing, my play — inherently a paradox that bends the reality we have grown so attached to. As poet Sun Ra once spoke, ‘I do not come to you as a reality, I come to you as the myth because that is what black people are: myths.’ My hands were made to bring that mythology, in every absurd visual/medium/thought, that I can — to this life, to fuel the dreams of children to come.”
Each presentation is followed by a lively group discussion.
