DESCRIPTION:List Projects 33: Every Ocean Hughes features One Big Bag (2021
 ) is a 40-minute single channel video. \n\nThe video uses the “mobile co
 rpse kit”—a bag filled with everyday objects doulas use to care for th
 e newly dead—as both the visual structure and narrative driver of the vi
 deo. With a matter-of-fact demeanor and intense physicality the performer 
 guides the viewer into the largely uncharted waters of corpse care — pra
 ctical\, political and spiritual. The form of the video creates a tension 
 between the subject matter of dying and the forceful liveness of the perfo
 rmance itself.  Exhibiting artist Every Ocean Hughes will be joined by Sue
 lin Chen to discuss the complications and complexities of end-of-life care
  drawn from themes presented in One Big Bag. \n\nList Center galleries wil
 l be open at 5:00 PM.\n\nSpeaker Bios\n\nEvery Ocean Hughes (b. 1977\, liv
