Inspired by a line out from Ota Shogo's seminal work, The Water Station, She Walks the Air IX finally lands in its ninth iteration after morphing through multiple iterations with over 40 collaborators at institutions across the country. A rejection of Shogo's hypererotization of the female body and refusal to acknowledge colonization, She Walks the Air IX harnesses the breathtaking beauty of the non-western canon in an ensemble ritual that invites its participants to imagine walking in the air, like walking on the road, but also walking the air, like walking a dog.
