A new chapter in a long-term project, *Temple of Love – Affirmation* is an ode to love. Can we still “burn” with love for one another? By blending Ballroom culture and voguing—rooted in the African American community—the project celebrates life and explores notions of culture and community, care, and personal and collective development within a French museum setting. A sound installation featuring decolonial mantras takes place in the herb garden’s plant beds, serving as a means to offer collective healing and political resistance through the affirmation of a different kind of togetherness. (Text by Marie Gautier)
Excerpts from decolonial mantras written and performed by Gaëlle Choisne:
9) I have high self-esteem, even if I don’t have a role model. I am becoming my own role model.
10) Difficult times are short-lived; they are stages, trials.
11) I must envision the ideal in my life to achieve it: no more injustice, no more theft, no more rape, no more violence against human and non-human beings.
12) My efforts are supported by the universe: I am part of the universe; I am not alone.
13) Obstacles move out of my way when I focus on the things that do me good, that bring me joy, and that do no harm to others. (…)
15) Failure is an experience I go through just as I go through success.
16) Love is political.
17) My body is political.
