About this Event
Join the Department of Performance Studies for a special event featuring PS Visiting Scholar Maria José Arjona and Professor André Lepecki. In the course of this conversation, they will engage in an exploration of possibilities, contemplating the forest as both a metaphorical construct and a tangible locus for nuanced and innovative expressions. Our inquiry delves into the intricacies of planning and conceptualization of collective movements, conceived as dynamic sonic-social spaces, with a predominant focus on the transformative agency of attentive listening. The works disseminated throughout this dialogue serve as strategic instruments, systematically probing the essential role of transitioning -as an action- but also as technology for political resistance.
These collective or soft structures, resembling microcosmic reflections of the Amazonian forest, function as active and open archives working within and throughout my work. They manifest, unfurl, and guide us toward the establishment of transient spaces and methodologies adept at reforesting not only corporeal entities but also the rigid structures permeated by institutional violence and normative paradigms.
