Leslie Cuyjet, during a season-long residency with Performance Space New York, will further research and develop her project For All Your Life, a performance and social experiment that examines the value of Black life and Black death. Weaving the historical context of life insurance with real current day financial structures, she aims to pay dividends to investors after her passing. At Performance Space New York, Cuyjet will further develop this project, examining ideas of cultural and institutional legibility and how to value a life’s worth, seeding new vehicles of performance. 
 
In collaboration with the 2025 Performa Biennial, Cuyjet will have a consistent presence at the Performa Hub, designed by multi-disciplinary agency, Clocks.
