The Party es Para Todos is a devotional space, a window into a future earth, a transmission from a utopia irrealis. Textile pieces hint at an expansive mythology, a future historian sifts through our refuse for clues about the earth’s propertarian past. The video piece ‘A Vision of the Leisure-Dome’ evokes a 'live-stream' window into a utopian future. The performance of leisure and the absence of labor are central to afterlife mythologies across cultures; it is easier to imagine the end of our lives than to imagine the end of capitalism. The Party es Para Todos performs a possibility, colors in the lines of its splendid cartographies, rewires our imagination. It looks into the future, and the future is looking back.
