De la Vista Gorda

(The Big Picture)

Alejandra Rodríguez / La Bala Damiana Cactaceae

Length: 40 minutes

Artist led Q&A roundtable discussion after the performance

From a Fat Point of View (The Big Picture) is a ritual of self-recognition. It suggests an exercise in the re-appropriation of the unexpected, fat, mestizx, denied and ridiculed body. It intends to reverse the injury the collective imagination has suffered.

El Lenguaje de los Pájaros

(The Language of the Birds)

Felipe Osornio / Lechedevirgen Trimegisto, in collaboration with Giovanna Márquez Lago and Cristián A. Mejía

Length: 40 minutes

There will be no Q&A after this performance

The Language of the Birds is an alchemical act of transformation, where Felipe’s body will serve as a geopolitical map on which a metaphorical healing of the ghost-body-nation he lives in will take place. With the help of a contemporary oracle, he will pursue a magical-political approach that will allow him to confront the power and devices of control that operate Mexican minds and bodies.
