What is this? Energy Reserve Systems

Energy Reserve Systems (ERS) is an evolving artistic framework examining how Black communities store, exchange, and regenerate energy through communication, sound, memory, and collective care.

Working across installation, sound, film, archives, publication, and public participation, ERS functions as a living, breathing system rather than a static archive, exploring how memory is carried and transformed across generations when formal institutions fail.
