“The Future Conditional is a series of networked sound installations using interactive textiles and Black diasporic pattern making. It takes its name from Tina Campt’s evocation of Black Feminist Futurity as a conditional practice, “a performance of a future that hasn’t yet happened but must.” This work stays with the tension of the archive and the database, as both evidence of past violence and their impossibility to express what lives beyond numbers and material records. I engage this work as a series of conversations about Black Feminist futures, asking, ‘What are the things, often forgotten, that we need to carry with us?’ and ‘What can we now allow to fray and break, and be ok with the brokenness?’”
