Nina Terra (Em’21-Virtual) 🥰Posted @withregram • @nina_terra Foi linda nossa DANÇA-RITO na @casa_do_humaita_ 🌟
Sensibilizamos, dissolvemos, escorremos,
saímos da fôrma, mudamos de forma, mudançamos com a vida e movemos o prazer, o desejo e a potência.
Abrimos espaço
Prazer é resgate
Alegria é munição 🔥
Entramos em estado de presença, fluxo, escuta,
Trabalhamos a intimidade, a expressividade, o afeto e a fúria de viver
Demos vários passos, mudamos o mundo de lugar, encontramos novas possibilidades de movimento, chacoalhamos nossas estruturas, ecoamos e sopramos aos 4 cantos nosso pulso 🫀
Hoje tem mais, todo dia é dia de encontrar brechas que nos fazem pulsar, sentir e mover junto com o que realmente importa 🌟
Gracias pelos encontros e parcerias 🫀

Great Emerge Virtual session today with Colombian

Great Emerge Virtual session today with Colombian performance artist Nadia Granados AKA La Fulminante, exploring the effects dominant narratives have had on our physical bodies. Gracias @nadia_granados ! 🩷 Nadia Granados is a Colombian artist using performance, experimental cinema, music, multimedia, web art and cabaret. She is known as La Fulminante. Her artistic practice questions the manipulative strategies that exist behind the representational systems that circulate through the media, making a direct criticism of these structures of symbolic power, and using resources associated with gender performativity and communication guerrillas. She is interested in decolonial thought and the anti-imperialist struggle from a sudaca-kuir-transfeminist perspective.

Kiyo Gutiérrez (Emerge’21) will be in New York! Posted @withregram • @kiyogutierrez Upcoming performance apoyada por el Fondo Franklin Furnace en Ward’s Island Bridge, NYC
17 de Mayo, 5:30 pm @franklinfurnace
.
River Healers is a site-specific performance where three Healers toss their almost 90 feet long hair into the Harlem River from Ward’s Island Bridge. Their hair is made of red cabbage dyed cotton, which works as a natural PH indicator substance that changes color when in contact with water. The Healers hair starts out purple, indicating neutral PH, when it comes in contact with non-neutral water the dye reacts from green when its alkaline, to red, indicating acidic water. Harlem’s river PH level revealed through this intimate gesture, will indicate the river water’s health. River Healers aims to offer alternatives to our dominant water imaginaries and to build a closer relationship between rivers and citizens.
¡Acompáñanos! 💧💜

😍 From @sosparklingwater Dear Nicolás, or @interiorbeautysalon ,
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of seeing a glimpse of the work of your creative Godmother @linda.m.montano
at the @neuenationalgalerie here in Berlin. The first thing on my mind was how thankful I was that she inspired you, because you have so thoroughly inspired me as a maker and a person who has chosen to make a creative life outside of binaries. Your words from our @emergenyc_art session a few sundays ago has stayed on my mind,
"working with spirit takes responsibility".
For this piece that I saw Linda in, as I was feeling so connected to you, and to her through you, it felt so visceral as she was literally tied to another artist, Tehching Hsieh, for a full year. For this year, they could not touch at all. She worked in collaboration with Hsieh on this specific "lifework", which made me reflect on domesticity, work and women's work, and particularly choice. Instead of being "tied" to a domestic partner, I feel so strongly that I would like to spend my time in this life not tied to other artists, but tethered to their creative lineage, so even when I am drifting in my own ideas and pursuits I can always come back to the collective actions and creations that have inspired me. There is still much for me to discovery and learn about the spirit of mutual aid and support from artist to artist.
I am wondering if you've ever heard Linda talk about this piece or about Tehching? He makes "use of his art practice to focus on life, time, and being" and I really felt that through watching his hair grow. Hair is like a garden to me, connected to the body, but moving on its own, growing on its own whether you are growing your own humanity or not. In some of the video documentation, he looked so jostled around by life, but in watching it I felt that he loves being alive, even if it has taken a toll on him. I feel so thankful for my life, your creative energy, and the growth of both my hair and humanity. :)
With love and admiration, #oldfashioned #communication #connection #inspiration #growth #body #tehchinghsieh #lindamarymontano #spirit #reflection #contemporaryart #performance #life

Dora Selva (Emerge’22-Virtual) in conversation with Nicolás! 🧡🧡Posted @withregram • @doraselva Salve povo, acaba de sair do forninho o encontro que tive com @interiorbeautysalon ! Cheguei através da @annacostaesilva na residência @emergenyc_art no ano passado, toda grávida de segundo trimestre com a gana de produzir e compartilhar. É muito bom poder trocar e expandir os caminhos artísticos por outros mares. Agradeço a cada ume q conheci lá, e ao Nicolás por essa conversa ✨ Pra ler o papo completo in english acesse o link na bio ~~~~~~
The Salón Launches a Q&I Beetween Dora Selva and Nicolás
Nicolás: There is a tendency Latin/x America, and perhaps beyond this, to think of Brazil as a nation where there are very little taboos about the body. This perception, I think, can verge on stereotypes or false notions of liberation. I am saying this because this is the same progressive Brazil where I saw dictators like Bolsonaro be granted power by many. What are some of your experiences in relationship to the body in Brazil, which is the country where you live.
Dora Selva: It is necessary to understand that Brazil is as extensive as a continent, so there are very different bodily experiences between the states, not the east because the climate, temperature and ecosystems are very different in each corner of the territory. It is a great contradiction because there is a Brazil that is exported with images of carnival, beaches, with half-naked people (in general people of color) that sells this stereotype of freedom, while in reality it can be extremely emasculating, racist, transphobic and neo-Nazi. This is a very strange moment, since Bolsonaro, like many dictators, produces a mass effect from a military discourse, completely schizophrenic, as well as criminal. But speaking from the experience of living in Rio de Janeiro, where I currently live, there is a habit of having my body exposed, largely because of the heat (unlike the city of São Paulo, where I was born).

Congratulations dear pêdra costa! (Emerge’21) 🤩Posted @withregram • @pedraxcosta #Repost - @dasweissehaus
Pêdra Costa @pedraxcosta receives the Erste Bank Art Award 2023 🥳
It is with great honor that we announce the presentation of the Erste Bank Art Award 2023 to Pêdra Costa. Their artistic practice in its complex and diverse approaches convinced this year's jury, consisting of Ruth Goubran, Alexandra Grausam @grausamalexandra , Christian Lübbert @christianluebbert , Stanislaw Welbel @stanwelbel and Katie Zazenski @kathryn.zazenski .
Pêdra Costa is a ground breaking, formative Brazilian, visual and urban Anthropologist, Performer and Tarot Reader based in Berlin that utilizes intimacy to connect with collectivity. They work with their body to create fragmented epistemologies of queer communities within ongoing colonial legacies. Their work aims to decode violence and transform failure whilst tapping into the powers of resilient knowledge from a plethora of subversive ancestralities and spiritualities that have been integral anti-colonial and necropolitical survival.

Workshop tomorrow! Posted @withregram • @interio

Workshop tomorrow! Posted @withregram • @interiorbeautysalon The Salon's virtual workshop by Hana van der Kolk & Erin Marie Sickler as part of their 2023 residency at The Interior Beauty Salon
Date: Saturday, May 6
Time: 2-4pm EST
Zoom link provided upon registration
Link to registration form in bio
WitHnessing: Becoming…
Inviting all you psi-borgian* l/u/vers to move your human+++ bods with us in this 2-hr digi-topic workshop WitHnessing : Becoming…
*Hana and Erin borrow the name of a Marvel character here to trouble the cyborgian/tryborgian line, for further definition of these terms click HERE

what: What is typically engaged in an act of witnessing? Seeing, hearing, empathy, judgment, and interpretation. What if witnessing can become “witHnessing,” a practice of being with the unknowing present?

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we increasingly turned to video technology to stay in touch with our family, friends, and colleagues and conduct the business of our lives via technological means. In this workshop, we propose witHnessing as a strategy for a fuller embodiment that allows us to reclaim our organismic presence in relation to the digital interface of Zoom.
We will lead this shared inquiry into witHnessing with a curiosity that invites questions of/with/towards/against the limits of embodied virtuality as we maneuver through our various prostheses–limbs, objects, organs, ornaments, identities, technologies–towards a collective work of play, rest, sound, movement, and creativity.

No experience with movement, meditation, or writing is necessary. All bodies and abilities will be included and accommodated.

So glad to hear this program is going well, Natach

So glad to hear this program is going well, Natacha! (Em’19) Posted @withregram • @natachavoliakovsky I feel so honored of being selected as one of the SU-CASA 2023 resident artists program @ LMCC on behalf of the borough of Manhattan.
SU-CASA ( @lmcc_nyc ) is a community arts engagement residency program that places artists and organizations at senior centers across the five boroughs of New York City for six months. In partnership with New York City Council, Department of Cultural Affairs and Department for the Aging.
My proposed selected project, Reclaim the Denied with a Collective Message, is a weekly multidisciplinary social-practice encounters on self-expression and activism based on performance pedagogy. My residency will take place in partnership with Riverstone Senior Life Services Older Adult Center in Manhattan.
General Narrative: What has been denied in our stories can be claimed and shared as an act of collective reparation. In this series of meetings we will recognize those concepts that historically and socially have entered this inaccessible territory as: identity, love, respect, family, etc. Using activism-base-practice and performance pedagogy, we will produce actions and posters as a tool for social and political dialogue. This expression emulates the demonstrations in Latin America. The intent is to collectively give a new meaning to these denied concepts, and build a powerful symbolic critical mass of expressions of stories, opinions, feelings, vulnerabilities and fears, with the purpose of transforming, reclaiming and repairing each of these messages.
