Hurricane Sandy destroyed much of New York’s coastline. Many communities continue to reel from the after shock of the unprecedented storm surge. Harmattan’s performance Far Rockaway is a communal reclamation of a neighborhood vulnerable to the sea.
The Portuguese colonized the Kerala Coast in the 1500s. They left their names, language, culture, memories, forts, food, customs, and violent history behind. In a post-colonial re-visiting of encounters, material remains, memories and history, Mar Portugues is a performative reengagement with Fernando Pessoa's notion of the Portuguese Sea, in a post-imperial moment.
