                 ALL PIB SLOW PLAY
        A SEDIMENTATION OF HISTORY AND SOUND

All Pib Slow Play: A Sedimentation of History and 
Sound is a decelerationist music and food 
programming project pairing cumbia rebajada (slowed 
cumbia) with the cooking of tamales using an earth 
oven — the Pib.

Named after DJ Screw's 1999 record, All Work No 
Play, and a letter to Elysia Crampton, All Pib Slow 
Play is a means to research, practice, and evolve 
traditions that generations of Indigenous families 
have kept alive across the Americas and around the 
world while celebrating the fruits of the soil. 

While All Pib Slow Play Volume I was about sharing 
food on a farm and broadcasting on Local Radio, 
Volume II centers around a social sculpture melding 
soundsystem and grill in Cactus Store’s NY garden 
as an experience in deceleration. Through evolving 
forms, All Pib Slow Play centers slowness as a 
vehicle and embodied acts as essential modes of 
representation and knowledge to awaken a resistance 
to destierro (uprooting) through memories of home/
lands and land practices.

All Pib Slow Play is an investigation of the 
potential for socio-ecological interfaces — 
bringing ‘nature’ and ‘culture,’ the ancient and 
contemporary, together through living forms — from 
the ground beneath our feet to sounds echoing down 
city streets. Digging beneath the surface of our 
daily accelerationist culture through pib and 
rebajada methods, All Pib Slow Play is a chance to 
move slower with and closer to the earth.

All Pib Slow Play was conceptualized by Giguel 
Maybach in collaboration with Jeemin Shim, 
Kyle Richardson, Pancho Blood, and Zoila Coc-Chang.

This website was coded by Pancho Blood and edited 
by Jeemin Shim.

Vol. I was produced in collaboration with Geovanni 
Barrios, Isabel Rooper, Jacqueline Munno, Mike 
Tully, Pancho Blood, Sandra Trigueros and her 
family, and thanks to the assistance of Yale Farm 
volunteers. It was supported by the Yale Sustainable 
Food Program and Yale School of Art's inaugural 
student-curated exhibition, No White Walls.

Vol. II was produced in collaboration with Andrea 
Bonin, Brenda Castellanos and Ix Restaurant, 
Christian Cummings, Jeemin Shim, Joe Valle and the 
Cactus Store staff, Rainstick, and thanks to the 
assistance of Alex Kapsidelis, Eduardo Reyes, John 
Sampson, Mike Tully, Nick Boso, Zack Wangeman and 
Sobre Masa. It was supported by Nonhuman Teachers 
and, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary 
Arts grant.

As an ongoing project, research will continue to
be gathered on this Arena channel, with occasional 
updates made to this website.

   Buried, we have risen from the earth — in this
           ritual we give thanks to all.
 On stones and in fire, the birds whisper our song.
  From stars to soil, angels to pigeons — we soar.
                   Until mañana…
