“Instead, let’s consider the dandelion achene. The flower kingdom’s lil grey-haired punk.”  (Sophia Al-Maria) Released on the Winter Equinox, 21 December 2020, tarax'sup? is a short meditative exercise inspired by the common dandelion (taraxacum officinale) written and performed by Sophia Al-Maria, with a musical score by Kelsey Lu and cover artwork by Tosh Basco (boychild). tarax’sup? is a gift from them to you, and especially for queer kin everywhere.  It can be practiced as often as needed and kept as a companion to listen to or read whenever you are in need of grounding.  Recorded by Thibault Verdron in Arles, France with special thanks to LUMA Foundation. Mastered by Heba Kadry.  tarax’sup? is dedicated to the memory of Rainbow, canine companion of artist Precious Okoyomon. Curated and produced by Tamar Clarke-Brown, Eva Jäger, Melissa Blanchflower and Kay Watson.  tarax’sup? is a collaboration between Sophia Al-Maria, Tosh Basco, Kelsey Lu and many more to come. It is a moment of first seeding, a prelude to Sophia Al-Maria’s ongoing project with Serpentine, Taraxos, which ruminates on the dandelion to explore the seeding of new ideas, kinship, breathwork and abolitionist thinking.
