ALAY
Dorothea Gloria
ALAY is a mourning ritual performance created and performed by Dorothea Gloria, rooted in Ilocano traditions of grief, remembrance, and offering. Drawing from ancestral practices of lamentation, prayer, and embodied devotion, the work explores how grief lives in the body and how ritual can hold what language cannot.
Positioned at the intersection of performance, ritual, and social practice, ALAY treats mourning as a living, communal practice. Through gesture, repetition, sound, and presence, the performance creates a shared space where grief is witnessed rather than explained, and where collective attention becomes an act of care.
Wave Collapse
Jay Reinier with brynn asha walker & ari glenn mombrea
When does computation overflow into being? Wave Collapse, by multimedia artist Jay Reinier, explores technology pushed to the brink, spilling into climate change and system failure. The piece integrates immersive projections, live-processed voice, and interactive digital instruments. Concrete poetry combines with cyberpunk in a tapestry of conflicting fragments, telling a story of hubristic science and machine intelligence in a time of rupture and regeneration.
The performance is presented as part of Reinier's thesis project for the Performance & Interactive Media Arts MFA at Brooklyn College. Featured performers include brynn asha walker and ari glenn mombrea. Additional visuals and sound design by Jack Hamill and brynn asha walker.
