Fotos del día de cierre, con caminata en las cuevas, performance de Marc Vives y mi proyecto Nombrar Territorios Encantados, tomadas por Andriette Helm .

En julio pude conocer las mágicas cuevas menorquinas, gracias a la invitación de @casa_enhorabuena .

Gracias a @juandiego_tobalina y @renzo_merkt por hacerme parte de su nuevo proyecto de residencia, junto a @vivesmarc .

Hemos disfrutado compartiendo tiernos y graciosos gestos de hospitalidad y convivencia, renovando y empezando amistades, experimentando con movimientos, recetas y canciones. Yo pude seguir desarrollando mis formas de conocer íntimamente rocas y árboles, stalkeando a mi pez favorito y hasta me atreví a cantar una canción, inspirada por quienes insistieron en vivir en esas cuevas hasta hace muy poco…

Y gracias a todxs lxs asistentes a “Nombrar territorios encantados”, nuestra sesión de cierre con lectura colectiva, caminata y escritura en Calas Coves. Larga vida a la Casa Enhorabuena y hasta pronto! 💥

In July I could visit the magical Menorcan caves, thanks to the invitation of @casa_enhorabuena .

Thanks to @juandiego_tobalina and @renzo_merkt for making me part of their new residency project, along with @vivesmarc

We’ve enjoyed sharing tender and gracious gestures of hospitality and conviviality, renewing and making new friendships, experimenting with movements, recipes, and songs. I was able to continue developing my ways of getting to know rocks and trees intimately, stalking my favorite fish, and even daring to sing a song, inspired by those who insisted on living in those caves until very recently…

And thanks to everyone who came to “Naming Enchanted Territories”, our closing session with collective reading, walk and writing at Calas Coves. Long live to Casa Enhorabuana! Congratulations, and see you soon!💥

A still of my video Offering’s apprentice II used for the poster of our show!

The exhibition Learning from Plants, Rocks and Waters: Counter-Narratives from Earthlings Amid Multiple Crises was inaugurated on Tuesday the 4th at SOHO studios. The show features works of the Peruvian artists Imayna Cáceres, Alfredo Ledesma, Hansel Sato and me and will be on until October 23. Check out the program full of diverse activities!

«The exhibition is the result of a collective experiment, an ongoing collaboration between four artists with similar artistic approaches and a common interest in promoting plural ecological values of coexistence with other beings on earth.

As Peruvian artists living in Vienna, they accompany each other in their migration processes and together imagine stories that could make a world possible in which borders and hierarchies between people, but also between people and nature, have been overcome. The artistic production refers to old mestizo and indigenous practices from the Amazon and Andean regions. In these cultural spaces, people are viewed as an integral part of the natural fabric.»

We are having great press coverage, as shows this article, this article, and the beautiful images taken by Joanna Pianka for Esel.
