Our annual Media Arts Symposium returns for the 17th year! Ancestral Echoes will take place on Saturday, November 22 from 2:30–5 pm. Join us for an afternoon of dance and dialogue, exploring embodied memory and intergenerational knowledge. The afternoon begins with an activation of the sculptural installation “Ephemeral Artifacts,”, choreographed by Toronto-based artist Brandy Leary in the Gallery space, examining the dancing body as a vessel of inherited knowledge. Then, Justine A. Chambers and Simran Sachar’s “Today is the evening to strike lightning / Aaj To Bijiliyan Girane Ki Shaam,” a powerful invocation of dancing mothers and bodily reclamation, will be performed in the Studio Theatre. The symposium concludes with a group conversation about dance, memory, scoring, and the intersection between museum spaces and performance.
Ancestral Echoes is held in collaboration with Indian Summer Festival and ĀNANDAM dance theatre, as part of exhibition “Kinesthesia.”
