Friday April 26
You can walk through your body, and the memories stored within can be visualized, much like the wounds inflicted upon Mother Earth over centuries of exploitation and violence. In a vibrant, multi-sensory evening, artists Eva Spierenburg, Ana Bravo Pérez, and Richtje Reinsma allow us to experience the interconnectedness of body and landscape. Through performance, sound, film, scent, storytelling, and the gentle movement of pencil on paper, visitors are enraptured. This program is presented by IDFA and Mister Motley.
