This image guides my concept <em>Of Roots and Portals: With-nessing<\/em>. With-nessing, acknowledges \u203abeing with\u2039 ancestral beings. First, the living root bridges [<em>jingkieng jri<\/em>] of my tribe, the Khasis. The root-bridges illustrate inherited intangibility, the Khasis believe in a creation myth where man descended from the roots of a large tree in the sky, Diengiei. But they are also tangible portals, each bridge takes 40 years to shape, each weave on the bridge is an ancestor\u2019s trace.\u00ab\r\n\r\nFor the web residency project, artist Fileona Dkhar will write a series of letters to a descendant \u2013 fictional and maybe someday real. Each letter is a reflection on the root bridges, as inheritance, as portals, as remembrance of ancestral makers. These reflections extend to her being an artist, a medium, and an ancestor herself. Somewhere between auto-poem and letter, Dkhar writes the letters in English and her father translates them into Khasi, incorporating familial with-nessing. As this project shapes itself into an audio-visual web poetry installation, the letters are portals as text. Dkhar enters into this residency seeking a with-nessing that guides her through the opacity of writing with intangible and tangible ways of being, making and speaking.\r\n\r\nThe project <em>Of Roots and Portals: With-nessing<\/em> will take the form of a website which has videos, sound, and text. What it should feel like is if the viewer were engaging with Indigenous knowledge woven to create a bridge toward comprehending regret, guilt, and care for the future descendant.\r\n\r\nThis repeats with above \u2014 intentional?\r\n\r\nThis website you are about to access is an artistic work within the online program \u201cWeb Residencies by Akademie Schloss Solitude\u201d. \u00a9 2023.
