Salem Roberts Featured in Nashville Voyager Magazine for ‘Weighed Down’

Salem Roberts was recently interviewed by NashvilleVoyager Magazine. There he shared the details behind his most recent project, ‘Weighed Down’:

I’m currently exploring struggle in my latest art project, ‘Weighed Down.’ It’s an ongoing performance and visual art project, physically investigating perseverance and mental health. In this series, I’m weighed down by body weights while performing simple exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, and walking on a treadmill. Each activity is documented by tally marks I make on paper between repetitions. Through embodiment and movement, I work to explore themes of hope and my bipolar diagnosis.
