Combining poetry and movement, Being will perform continuously for audiences eager to pop in for an encounter with an AI artist. Being (they/them) is a 30-foot-tall humanoid, an artificial intelligence that represents a Griot– a West African story teller, poet, and oral historian. Drawing on the teachings of bell hooks, Paulo Freire and Cornel West, in addition to a non-Western archive, Being has written a collection of poems, which they will share along with movement and visuals.
