BODY OF EVIDENCE
Book Video

Design for Awareness collaborated with Ana Paula Cordeiro to produce this video for Body of Evidence. From her website:


Body of Evidence is an artist book instigated by how twice after the 2016 election (but never once before) people attempted to leverage my immigration status as a compensation for their white fragility. The book was printed in red & blue over white, with black and various shades of gray. It is shaped as an envelope with flaps open, folded lengthwise. By design, it is unable to stand on its own. The text is made of excerpts from personal journals about my experience of 20 years as an immigrant artist, supplemented with quotes from Rebecca Solnit, Emily Dickinson, William James, Agnes Martin, and Fernando Pessoa. It was printed at The Center for Book Arts, using the house type collection.


The music is Tango Movements performed by TransAtlantic Ensemble
Mariam Adam, clarinet | Evelyn Ulex, piano | JP Jofre, composer & bandoneon
