Gabrielle Goliath’s video and sound installation is part of a long-term performative series that undertakes collective mourning for women and LGBTQIA+ individuals lost to patriarchal violence. It commemorates two Nama women who were displaced and killed during the Ovaherero and Nama Genocide (1904–08) perpetrated by the German colonial regime in Namibia. One by one, seven opera singers sustain a single note over the course of an hour, creating a space for shared grief and radical refusal. This sonic vigil becomes a political act of remembrance and love in which the public is invited to take part.
