I DIGRESS, Episode 2 is part of a transmedia, performance memoir exploring the weight of inheritance and the recollection of memories and material things lost to time. Jackson weaves together tales from her childhood fusing performance, music, projection design, with archival materials, animation, and video art. She sifts through the weight and consequences of grief by taking us down a hilarious and heartfelt coming of age journey from a young girl in 1980s Chicago, through her adolescence and the death of her mother, to her own discovery of how absence, family narratives, and the legacy of history shape us.
