Performance during the Performancear O Morrir
https://performancearomorir.blogspot.com

Duration: 25 minutes
Location: Galeria Panorama Arte, Chihuahua, Mexico
Materials: 6 meter fabric, soap, blue ink

A cloth determined and limited my movement possibilities. It was held by two volunteers from the audience.
In addition, the performance was about the physical differences between men and women in terms of strength.
In my case less because of my greater physical body. In search of power between women and men and to break the difference and get connection.
The color blue was a recurring theme in my performances in Mexico, this in contrast with theorange / yellow landscape and as a reference to openness, integrity and sincerity in this new culture for me.

Perform or Die

   

From April 16 to 20 Norogachi

Performancear o Morir is a Cosmos Factory initiative led by Magda Rivera and Gustavo Alvarez, with more than ten years of work in developing projects in contemporary art such as the First Binational Meeting of Current Art, Perfo Juárez, InSitu Guanajuato, and Diploma in Current Art among others.

For 10 years the Intercultural Meeting ” Performancear or Die” has been held , which invites national and international artists to learn about Raramuris traditions, with the intention that artists find in them a deeper connection with the world; since western art has become increasingly distant. We had the interest of artists and anthropologists because they see in this project a way to continue to learn from our indigenous culture through a respectful process accompanying the feast  of Easter

All this with the purpose of motivating an encounter between these two cultures (raramuri and western), in a cordial but above all respectful way, living together and talking in a loud voice their conceptions of the world, of life, of divergences and convergences ;, so our intention is that both cultures look at each other and ask for that other that complements them; motivating an interrelation approach process where after knowing and recognizing each other there is always the intention of finding ways to expand this dialogue that is just beginning. Thus lasting relationships of friendship can be born, but above all we believe that reflections arise that lead us to realize the need for otherness.
