Charisse Pearlina Weston is a conceptual artist and writer based in New York. Weston’s work examines Black interior life, resistance, and technologies of surveillance. Encompassing both physical and ideological apparatuses, these technologies work to reify anti- blackness. She interrogates, first, how these mechanisms employ socio-spatial proximity to manifest a constrictive form of intimacy and, second, how this intimacy enacts violence. She contends with this dynamic interplay of violence and intimacy through an engagement with the infrastructural poetics of Black tactics of refusal. Working across sculpture, writing, and photography, she examines how practices of repetition, enfoldment, concealment, and delay can re-articulate intimacy and Black interiors as sites of resistance.
