i learned to pray over the internet :

m u k t i p o r t a l v i r t u a l a l t a r

if you have a phone you have an altar. this is a digital art installation dedicated to shakta futurism, located in liminal space (aka the internet).

this project is a moving temple for whoever needs it, whoever is far from home or has no place to commune with the divine.

as members of the diaspora we have carried our spiritual lineages and teachings within our bodies across oceans, borders, realms. brought them to new places where they were given new life and purpose. This project is deeply informed by our relationship to place and placelessness and what it means to alchemize liberatory futures out of old traditions and present circumstances.

I will be collecting offerings as a form of digital (oral) history to document the resilience and adaptability of members of the global majority living in diaspora (exile). 

offerings will consist of a video steam of their home or community altar so the viewer can feel immersed in the experience of peering through the virtual portal to sit at their altar.
