"pity party" is an excerpt from a larger work-in-progress called s u m a c. The guitar in this piece was composed and performed by Nate Chard. **content warning**: suicidal ideation. About SUMAC: s u m a c is a queer fiction narrative told through poetry, prose and story telling. The narrative follows the intimacy and agony of s h e and s h e , giving witness to struggle and support for mental health in romantic relationships. s u m a c is both an audio project and text art project and perhaps more and perhaps less...continuously shifting and morphing, but always rooted in a commitment to a presentation that is both visual and audio in which each work will be distinct and whole on its own; one will not need the other for understanding. The release date and presentation of s u m a c has yet to be determined. To view the zine and text art of this piece, please visit https://thetawave.space/

jeighk is a white non-binary settler living in the Halifax area; unsurrendered M’ikmaq territory. jeighk’s preferred pronouns are they/them. They are a narrative-based interdisciplinary artist most recently working in sound, movement and shadow play. They have been exploring the use of storytelling as a tool to observe, re-sculpt and re-imagine internal discomforts.  They are committed to telling these stories through a variety of mediums - languages - to challenge and embrace our diverse needs to receive and respond to information. jeighk’s work strives to access our buried sensitivity and provoke emotional validity through vulnerable narratives.
