WED 7 DEC

Collage Sudaka (Bodily Narratives in Trans-Formation)

Maricarmen Gutiérrez Castro & Jorge Tadeo Baldeon Rodriguez

Performative Encounter, Conversation

Maricarmen Gutiérrez Castro and Jorge Tadeo Baldeon Rodriguez have been developing a methodology for a Temporal Sensitive Laboratory, where they aim to re-signify and re-imagine colonial visual representations of bodies “from the South”. Within this hybrid laboratory, they experiment with different languages (live performance, theoretical inputs, video performances, video projections) and use the space as a documentation-collage.

In this encounter, Maricarmen and Jorge will share performances and documentation from this initial part of their research which is currently developed at Saari Residency. They will also share previous works and open a conversation with the audience, hoping to collectivise the questions: what do we see and what don’t we see when we see in “other” bodies?
