Bionic Communality demonstrates floral, faunal and mineral consciousness as a cacophonous intensity of collaboratively acting through living histories and emergent meaning. Through textual interconnection, i>Bionic Communality engages language as both relational and positional. Taking cues from motile and audiovisual sensation in Iijima’s hometown, submerged social facts are laid bare: femicide, ecocide, genocide. i>Bionic Communality works the intimacies of civic participation. Liberational struggles find power in coalition. Dying is addressed as well as living. i>Bionic Communality is a vibrant catalyst for personal, social and habitat transformation.
Brenda Iijima is a poet, playwright, choreographer and visual artist. She is the author of nine books of poetry. Her involvements occur at the intersections and mutations of genre, mode, receptivity, and field of study. Her current work engages submerged and occluded histories, other-than-human modes of expression and telluric awareness in all forms. Iijima is the founding editor-publisher of Portable Press @ Yo-Yo Labs. She lives in Brooklyn, NY.
