As the guardian spirit chronicles the passage through space-time, she cites from premodern records of colonial encounters and alludes to stolen material artifacts \u2013 all of which simultaneously emerge, liquefy, and dissolve in waves of submerged memory.\r\n\r\nDeeper depths increase the density of pressure and reveal pulsating glimmers of the animated references: A pause at the bottom of the sea, where history is decayed yet preserved, propels the release to the surface. Thus, freediving \u2013 the traditional embodied knowledge of islander fisherfolk \u2013 becomes the referential techno-ecology to access global timelines in native recollection.\r\n\r\nFloating between the present tense, precolonial imaginaries, and postcolonial myths, <em>Ubos sa Dagat: The Under Sea<\/em> reckons with the wreckage of the imperial colonial archive and meditates through Indigenous islander memory. Rather than sinking into an Orientalist play of a primitive fantasy past, the speculative optics of archival recovery projects the legacy of islander sovereignty and rewritten decolonial futures.\r\n\r\n<em>Ubos sa Dagat: The Under Sea<\/em> will be a series of videos, all placed into a revolving carousel \u2013 a scrollable, spiraling list of fin-notes (no feet for mermaids!), mimicking the movements in diving. The project itself becomes a localized archive of historical memory."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_cta","bgcolor":"has-bg-blue","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":8,"cta_link":{"type":"url","value":"https:\/\/webresidencies.akademie-solitude.de\/the-under-sea","title":"","target":false},"cta_txt":"Ubos sa Dagat: The Under Sea","cta_button_txt":"VISIT WEB RESIDENCY PROJECT"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_txt","bgcolor":"","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":8,"txt_cols":"is-1-txtcol","txt":"<p class=\"is-size-6\">This project-in-process began during Khokhoi\u2019s Artist Research Fellowship at the Folger Shakespeare Library (August \u2013 November 2024).
