MOM, I AM NO LONGER BLACK is a performative ritual by artist Marilú Mapengo Námoda (Mmaapengo Námoda) that takes the form of a durational performance over several hours. The spectators can attend MOM, I AM NO LONGER BLACK in different timeslots. Marilú Mapengo Námoda herself writes: "The performance is about the deepest of all my deaths; the one for which I still haven't found a language. I have decided to stop forcing a translation. I have been touching the echoes coming from the deep waters: tears, sweat, fears, wounds, desires, pee, menstrual fluids. Have been forgiving, myself, you, and History; I have been forgiving, everything, including God. I am no longer black. I am back in the blackness.”

The artist invites the audience to bring an object that is related to something they are willing to forgive.
