The work Read MEmory, created in 2015, will be relocated in Mexico City with the invitation from artist-curator Alma Quintana (MX) to be part of the exhibition #CuerposInfinitos. Together, they inviting other artists to multiply the device through their personal histories. This durational one-on-one performance invites attendees to register for a card reading session to experience a close experience, in which roles can become interchangeable. From each selected card, a montage of autofiction unfolds, comprised of dances, words, actions, and objects; in turn, collective memory is polemized as a site of subjectivation and transmediation of intergenerational biographical material. The interaction of each performer with the aforementioned audience is a correlation of care regarding what is made present in the reading and a corporeal-performative narrative.

Now, in 2022, together with artistic collaborators, Scarlet Yu questions the concepts of racialization and identity and the structures that continue to produce violence and discrimination.
