Jade Solomon Curtis: Keeper of Sadness
Keeper of Sadness is an immersive performance and living archive centering the experiences of Black Womxn.
The work brings together movement, sound, and storytelling to explore grief as something ancestral, collective, and deeply personal. It reflects on the intergenerational impacts of trauma, societal narratives, and historical erasure while holding space for memory, resilience, and reclamation.
Keeper of Sadness invites audiences into a shared encounter with grief. Not as something to resolve, but as something to witness, carry, transmute and understand on a deeper level.
Keeper of Sadness offers an intimate exploration of the ways grief is carried, remembered, and passed on across generations.
Through performance and environment, the work considers how Black life is shaped by forms of loss that are both visible and unseen. It holds space for experiences that are often carried but rarely named, and asks what it means to witness them collectively.
The work draws attention to the ways memory, erasure, and survival are intertwined, using storytelling as a site of remembrance and resistance.
