At 6.30pm on the 3rd floor

4 Letters to the Planet’s Foreigner is an invocation of a trans-temporal, elemental entity. The Planet’s Foreigner is a being deeply rooted in the planet, and yet deemed as a stranger. Their role is the one of the witnesses and their voice manifest’s both in the sounds and silences of the performance.

At 8.30pm in the courtyard

Thus we disappear (Así Desaparecemos) is a performative reading originally conceived and presented in Bogotá, 2019, during the 45º Salon Nacional de Artistas de Colombia. The work confronts the dense relationship between memory and fire in the lived experience of the marginalized communities of the Global Majority.
