The performance at VisArts was a ritual cleansing of one of the sites where three African-Americans were lynched in the 1880s. Sidney Randolph was lynched a block from VisArts. Four performers ritually cleansed the space. Each performer will served as a surrogate for one of the lost lives; the creator of the ritual presided as high priestess over the ceremony. The artist Liz Miller conceived the ritual cleansing concept in conjunction with her wearable hair sculptures.
