about

There is a total solar eclipse that will be visible across the continental United States on the morning of Monday, August 21.For a few minutes on this day, the moon will pass in front of the sun and if you are in the Path of Totality, it will be pretty dark for a few minutes.

With these tracks, I want to open up the opportunity to ponder what else we might take for granted as the way things have to be, and what if we flipped them for a new perspective? What can we gain from bringing something from the dark lunar depths and placing it high in the sky? What has been repressed that needs to come to light?

The compilation is called CROWNING, which is a word that conflates the idea of a monarchy, rulership, a crown, and the moment of birth when a baby's head emerges from the womb. I love how this word can then encapsulate the power of care, of emotional labor, and heralding in the new. Power defined by mutual care and collaboration instead of power as control and surplus and material wealth. This compilation is intended to create space for contemplation and conversations around imagining change, a salve and a sweet reminder.

Proceeds will go to Black Lives Matter in Charlottesville (www.paypal.me/blmcville) for ongoing mental health and trauma counseling after the white supremacy attacks, and to counter organizing actions. Thank you so much to Alli Yates of Collander for helping me find organizations to donate to!
