I Am AveMagnolia is an interdisciplinary performance and participatory inquiry project blending theater, spoken word, movement, music, visual art, and collaborative embodied process into a nonlinear exploration of violation, grief, desire, memory, survival, and collective rehumanization.

Centered on AveMagnolia — a plural and mythic body holding personal, ancestral, relational, and collective histories simultaneously — the work moves through fragmentation, rupture, silence, longing, rage, sensuality, reconstruction, and reclamation. Through choreography, live text, ritualized staging, immersive visual language, original music, and collective artistic inquiry, the project examines the body not only as a site of injury, but as a site of memory, medicine, resistance, authorship, transformation, and liberation.

​

Rather than following a traditional narrative arc, I Am AveMagnolia unfolds through emotional, symbolic, and somatic logic where movement, sound, image, memory, and bodily presence become inseparable. Rooted in liberation pedagogy and participatory artistic inquiry, the project exists simultaneously as an evolving interdisciplinary performance work, a collaborative embodied inquiry process, and an emergent public-facing participatory curriculum ecosystem grounded in collective witnessing, artistic co-development, social ecological investigation, and embodied liberation.
