Demonstrative Score is a two-channel video installation that uses an archival compilation of acts of protest that aim to dismantle public monuments of various historical leaders and Confederate soldiers. Archival footage offers a visual score for choreography, performed by taisha paggett. The work responds to recent iconoclastic events that demand revisions to national narratives, and define history as a living document that warrants active engagement by marginalized subjects.
