Clip from my performance at the Soil Factory, Ithaca, NY September 19, 2025. After a week of creating unintentionally collapsing dream domes on the grounds and listening to the rhythms of the Lumad tribe(s) of southern Philippines.

Living Sounds: Rhythms of Belonging Panel Sept 19, 6-7pm EST at Soil Factory/Livestream on Sounding Out! Insta (@soundingoutinsta_)

How does sound, shape, and structure pattern our worlds and ways of belonging? How often do the rhythms and pulses of our everyday lives offer forms of belonging (1/2)

This happens to me a lot with Eddie Murphy films but they are certain lines somehow all deeply embedded in my head!

While in residence, Marlo will be exploring these themes in a myriad of manifestations, ranging from (deep) listening sessions, live-streamed panel (with Sounding Out!) and performance, all in accordance with the theme of Dreaming and Listening as a Form of Activism.

Project aims to create a contemporary sonic adaptation of Tโ€™nalak weavings of the Tโ€™boli people of the Philippines and create decolonial Deep Listening scores in resonance with that process.โ€™

Tโ€™nalak weaving is a practice by women referred to as โ€œdream weavers,โ€ as designs are sourced from dreams.

After a major break and pacing my creative energetic waxing and waning, I call to indigenous knowledges and dreams. I am an artist in residence September at The Soil Factory who received a Andy Warhol Foundation grant continuing its work to allow artists to explore.

Pacing my creative waxing/waning in chaotic times, I call to indigenous knowledges and dreams in artist residency September 14-21. Soil Factory received Warhol foundation grant to allow artists to explore. Watch for dates for Deep Listening Workshop, a panel chaired by Jenn Stover, and performance

Disabled people say โ€œsurvival is resistanceโ€ because we canโ€™t fight fascism if weโ€™re dead

Many are barely holding on.

We know our lives are at risk.

Some of us canโ€™t boycott or protest without risking death.

If we say something is inaccessible, believe us.

Help include us. We want to fight

Brought up a concern to someone and they said they didnโ€™t want to fight. I said โ€œdoesnโ€™t have to be a fight and if you agree we can discuss it. โ€œThey snapped back โ€œitโ€™s only not a fight if I agree with you.โ€

Donโ€™t even know what to do with that response. But it literally broke my brain.

My โค๏ธ with Filipinx Canadians after the violence at Lapu-Lapu Day in Vancouver BC. The traumatic story of the Vietnamese man who killed the 11 Filipinos from ages 5-65 is so tragic as well.

All so overwhelming. Mixed feelings bubble.

Letโ€™s care for each other as we ease through the complexity. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

For realโ€ฆflying back to the USA as a outspoken political brown person with naturalized citizen parents AND being autistic is looking HIGHLY unsafe. But that arts funding is gonna dry up faaaaaaaassssst and my work is about liberation and getting it out often gets people thinkingโ€ฆ ๐Ÿซค๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

Called to schedule a massage asking what modalities were used. Thai massage is painful with my mobility challenges and popular here. They defensively stated โ€œWeโ€™re not Thai.โ€ I stated โ€œI meant modality not ethnicity.โ€

Why is the government and the news so indifferent to the meltdown happening in UK #HigherEd right now?

Our universities are the envy of the world. Yet we are at risk of losing a generation of academics and damaging the sector beyond repair.
