SOUTH AMERICAN PERFORMANCE ART SERIES IN NEW YORK
Argentina Performance Art (APA), with the support of LATEA Theater and Grace Exhibition Space, will curate a three-night series to address critical and essential South American issues through the power of performance art.
The series will emphasize the interrelationship between Latin America and its diaspora, building a connection of narratives intertwined with the threads of its memory. The selected individuals employ their bodies as vehicles of expression, addressing fundamental Pan-American concerns such as social inequality, gender, political instability and trauma, among other concerns. The purpose is to accentuate the profound impact that performance art has on cultural preservation, resistance and transformation.
The South American Performance Art Series will feature live performances by Arantxa Araujo (Mexico/New York), Pancho López (Mexico/New York), Natacha Voliakovsky (Argentina/New York), Salomé Egas (Ecuador/New York), Anna Costa e Silva and Nina Terra (Brazil), Maná Bugallo (Argentina/New York), Carolina Muñoz Awad (Chile/New York), Domenica García (Ecuador/New York) and Siri Gurudev (Colombia/Texas); videos by Amapola Prada (Peru), Marta Minujín (Argentina) and Alfombra Roja (Peru) will also be shown.
The South American Performance Art Series will take place at two institutions in New York: LATEA Theater on November 2 and Grace Exhibition Space on November 10 and 17.
This three-night program will bring together artists from various regions of Latin America, presenting a total of 9 live performances and 3 video presentations. The series extends the invitation to anyone interested in performance art and contemporary art.
