The artist enters a public space unannounced carrying a suitcase. She opens it and pulls out a small bag on which the word NEGRA is written, a banana, and a flag. She sits on the flag and pulls out an old faded petticoat. While watching the 1964 Super Bowl she begins to sew braided weaving hair into the seams of the petticoat. She continues until the game is finished, backs her belongings and leaves.
