Tuesday, March 18, 2025

4:00 - 6:00pm 

White Box, Art & Anthropology Building Rm 120


In 
L’eulelogy for our super(re)latives, Super Futures Haunt Qollective (SFHQ), will perform a grieving-futuremaking ceremony – in collaboration with attendees and our more than human super(re)latives. In the final installment of their Beavereavement series, SFHQ affectively engages our ongoing relationships to loss, desire, and longing through kinship, fandom, and ritual to come back to what may be.

Super Futures Haunt Qollective (SFHQ) is an art and research based collaboration between three avatars. In their terrestrial forms, SFHQ members F. Sam Jung (MCP, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is a sky person and urban planner in New York. C. Ree (MFA University of California, Irvine) is an artist and film programmer based in San Diego, California. Angie Morrill (Klamath Tribes) holds a Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies from University of California, San Diego and is a writer, artist, and Native education consultant.


SFHQ shares a theoretical and visceral relationship to haunting (or whatever) as a decolonial method to reckon with violence and create futures that were always before dispossession. Using the vernacular of visitations as recognition, the specularity as a portal, and kinship as an ethic, SFHQ imagines in the wake of the unimaginable. When they are not haunting, this qollective builds time machines, loves Korean confessional culture, takes sticki-pix, and communes with beavers. 

SFHQ exhibited at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, The Alice Gallery in Seattle, Washington, the Wing Luke Museum, the inaugural exhibition of Kings Street Station Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego and San Diego Art Institute.  In 2019 SFHQ participated in the yәhaw̓ show, “Lifting the Sky.” SFHQ participated in a residency at Franconia Sculpture Park in 2021, creating an installation “Super Furs for the Super Futures 77: Beavereavement.” SFHQ was featured in Art Journal Open with the digital zine “Feral Intimacies, Part I—Super Furs for the Super Futures 77: Beavereavement,” curated by Thea Quiray Tagle as was the 2020 exhibit at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts “Super Furs for Super Futures” in the show AFTER LIFE (we survive). SFHQ exhibited in the 15th A.I.R. GALLERY Biennial "Friend of the Artist", curated by Eriola Pira in 2023.
