This project centered around the creation of liturgies made with my chosen family. The liturgies are like a poem, recorded across the US and set to a custom soundtrack. The poems follow a ceremonial format similar to the prayer and hymn books I grew up with but will be made through a trans theology lens. While ritualistic in nature, each liturgy evolves becoming more queer in cadence and sound, transitioning further away from traditional rhythms and into more found sound, experimental music, and considering speech as fast melody. The music and poems use trans identity both in who is making and how it is being made. After completed they were displayed in a gallery show but the project is ongoing.

Another gallery had three house flags that quoted directly from each liturgy. The last room held soft sculptures made to look like the podium of a preacher or politician. Play was encouraged with each soft sculpture. People have been giving their own speeches, laying down on them and spending time together, and using them as soft places to crash into. 

This work seeks to complicate the idea of a positive HIV status. If the Chrxst is positive, if the congregation consumes the body and blood , if we're all positive...How might we care for each other differently? How might we alter the ways we talk about life with HIV? Can we challenge the binary between positive and negative?
