Mario Gooden in Conversation with Zoe Kauder Nalebuff.\nIn this podcast episode, CCCP student Zoe Kauder Nalebuff speaks with faculty Mario Gooden (\u201890 MARCH) about his recent performance Working on Water in collaboration with Jonathan Gonzalez and Thuto Durkac Somo ('19 CCCP).\nDuring the conversation, Mario Gooden shares insights around the performance that archive movements and images of black subjectivity. Enacting feminist theorist Tina Campt\u2019s concept of \u201cpracticing refusal,\u201d the performance insists on radical witnessing and forms of architectural representation that \u201crefuse authoritative forms of visuality which function to refuse blackness itself.\u201d By acting and moving across various sites, the multimedia piece draws attention to the work occurring outside of the audience\u2019s focus throughout the performance.\nMario Gooden (\u201890 M.Arch) is faculty and Co-Director of the Global Africa Lab at Columbia GSAPP and Principal at Huff + Gooden Architects. His practice engages the cultural landscape and the intersectionality of architecture, race, gender, sexuality, and technology.
