Beatrice Gibson: Deux Soeurs

From Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich to Basma Alsharif and Pauline Oliveros, ‘Deux Soeurs’ brings together a chorus of voices that explore representations of parenthood, friendship, and disobedience. The book acts as a reader to artist Beatrice Gibson’s films, ‘I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead’ (2018) and ‘Two Sisters Who Are Not Sisters’ (2019), and includes material that informed Gibson’s working process, together with the artist’s texts and notes used in both films. Turning to the figure of the poet as a guide in times of chaos, ‘Deux Soeurs’ presents a framework for an ethics of artistic and social collaboration.
