Festival! 7 Prototypes for Eco-Social Renewal at Silent Green

Publicado el Etiquetado como , , , , ,

The 7 Prototypes for Eco-Social Renewal supported by Driving the Human were finally unveiled at the beautiful venue Silent Green in Berlin between November 25-27. For my project Virtual Sanctuary for Fertilizing Mourning, the opportunity was ideal, since the place used to be a crematorium. I could exhibit drawings, audio pieces and video in its Kuppelhalle, creating a temporary commemorative space for the assassinated Indigenous leaders and environmental defenders whose stories can be now found at the website Luto Verde.

During the weekend, I participated in a round table with the amazing Brigitte Baptiste and Susane Pierre, with whom I also continued discussing in a moving one to one conversation. We were challenged by Vera Saccheti’s sharp questions and I also made a couple of workshops related to the project.

Fuimos desafiados por las preguntas agudas de Vera Saccheti y también hice un par de talleres relacionados con el proyecto.

This text written by Aisha Altenhofen for Driving the Human’s journal, narrates some moments of my recent trip to Peru with Nuno Cassola, to continue the work for the project Virtual Sanctuary for Fertilizing Mourning. We went back to Sinchi Roca, Puerto Nuevo and Unipacuyacu, to show the videos made after the first trip in February, receive feedback and shooting more images, before finalizing the project which will be finally presented in November at Silent Green in Berlin.

Las ideas que entonces surgieron quedaron truncadas por la pandemia y entonces… puedes leer el texto completo aquí.

Publicado el Etiquetado como , , , , , ,

From October 22th to 31st 2021, the show I curated, Lost and shared: Approaches to collective mourning towards transformative politics could be visited at One Minute Space in Athens. Ten intense days of workshops, performances, screenings and discussions happened as part of the research for my PhD project.

«Acknowledging the simultaneous processes of loss that shape contemporary local and planetarian crises, artists, thinkers and performers address the current meaning of mourning. For it is within grieving and struggling realities that new political forces shall be created to reconnect ourselves with love, desire and transformation.»
