Artistic residency and public performance in the frame of Practices for the Future - a project initiated and curated by DanceRemainings - Sebastian Ruiz B. & Jonny Berg.
Practices for the Future consisted of a series of curated residencies happening within the exhibition (ON) THE EDGES, at Röda Sten Konsthall, Gothenburg, Sweden. Curated by Amila Puzic, (ON) THE EDGES showed works by artists Cha Blasco, Max Ockborn, and Patrik Bengtsson.
The residency was carried out from 2-7 July 2024. We engaged in choreographic anarchiving practices, proposing a dialogue with other human entities and the surplus of both tangible and incorporeal materials present in the exhibition space. I shared my practices with Sebastian Ruiz B. (CHIL/SE), weaving sessions of listening, embodiment, movement and writing. In the space between the fabric of practices, interactions with visitors in the exhibiton, and the performativity of the artworks creating the space, a choreographic score emerged. At the end of the residency, we performed the score with/for an audience, who we also invited to a conversation.
The artistic proposition unfolded from my artistic research project choreographic anarchiving and body-making - an artistic research practice at the confluence of choreography, dance, feminist new materialisms, and anthropology beyond the human. Its draws attention to and feeds on philosophical stances closely aligned to non-Western epistemologies, ecological thinking and decoloniality.
