Lukas Avendaño

Length: 40 minutes

Artist led Q&A roundtable discussion after the performance

In their performance La manda (No soy persona, soy Mariposa), Lukas goes back to a personal, collective and historically precolumbine memory, emloying the identity of a  mu’uxhe as an empowered identity that can mutate and transform itself. Lukas refers to femininity in context to the catholic faith, as well as to peripheral identities and their relation to racism and discrimination.

Tríptico de la Frontera, parte III: Sueño de Ausencia

(Triptych on the Border, Part III: Dreaming of a Void)

Violeta Luna, in collaboration with David Molina

Length: 50 minutes

Artist led Q&A roundtable discussion after the performance

Dreaming of a Void is the third and last part of Tryptich on the Border, a cycle of performances exploring the issue of Mexican and Latinamerican immigration to the United States. This performance focusses on the realities of the immigrant, once they start building their lives on the other side, where the process of integration, the frequent lack of contact to the new culture and the immigrant’s difficulties of returning to their places of origin are in a state of constant des/integration.
