ROOM-innate
ROOM-innate (2024, Ori Gallery, PDX)
In ROOM-innate, Lady Tournament privileges us into an immersive experience - a recreation of her childhood home - a womb where her trans-womanhood began. Through the reproduction of domestic space, paintings from her biological mother and sculptures from her daughter, Jzl Jmz maps matrilineal connections of creative expression and troubles the Black domestic as a place of solace, imagination & birth.
