Good Enough: A Convention on Forms of
Self-Reparation (2017)

Good Enough: A Convention on Forms of Self-Reparations is an educational model of social healing in the format of a convention. Similar to other conventions Good Enough occupies a physical space that is the representation of collaborations and time, with displays on the conventions floor, daily workshops and evening performances. Each project has been conceptualized as a byproduct of my activist, educational and performative practice with the goal of investigating how communities in the U.S offset the effects of oppression. Viewers and teammates are given tools to acutely identify individual and community symptoms of otherness while locating collaborative solutions.Self-reparation is the term of this methodology, an active labor performed by us for us.
