Personal Accounts, 2024-
Survivor Offerings
This multimedia archive is an online community resource for collaborating survivors. It is a space for multiple forms of disclosure and/or non-disclosure - for offerings other than, in addition to, or in support of the presence and breath already granted by them to the video cycles of Personal Accounts (2024-).
Some collaborators offer songs, poems, drawings or playlists, others share recipes, reflections or prayers. Others still have chosen to release unredacted transcripts of the personal accounts they voiced in studio. Collaborators may also choose to reveal their name and chosen pronouns or withhold their identity, as an equally agential claim to safety, opacity and/or privacy.
“These offerings are precious gifts of wisdom, virtuosity and grace. Hold them gently. And thank you, my beloved collaborators and friends, for a generosity that speaks, sings, cooks, dances, recalls and imagines the world anew”
