Diasporic movement\u2019s formal inscription in the gestures of the body is performed through scripts and scores revisited, opening a new perspective on history. \n\nBouchra Khalili\u2019s film \"The Tempest Society\" (2017) connects histories of resistance in contemporary austerity-ridden Athens and 1970s Paris, through a proletarian theater troupe, which organized North African workers around immigration and racism through plays and storytelling. \n\nTarik Kiswanson\u2019s video \"The Reading Room\" (2019) and newly commissioned live performance meditates on the question of exile, home, diaspora, and identity through the poetic and fragmented performance of a child.\n\nMonica Restrepo\u2019s film and installation \"Tacones (In the making)\" (2014) re-stages scenes from a lost film, a 1980s Colombian adaptation of West Side Story, tracing the cultural migrations of salsa dancing and the preservation of a repertoire of movements in the bodies of dancers. \n\nTiona Nekkia McClodden\u2019s installation, \"The Philly Bop\" (2019), explores the eponymous Black social dance through an autoethnographic lens using photography, video, and audio interviews, as she learns the dance from elders who carry on its disappearing legacy.","space":"We would like to stage this exhibition in Mexico City, which the artists included here have never shown in, to amplify dialogue around their work in Central America. An ideal exhibition space will be outfitted for performance and multiple video projections, measure at least 2,000 square feet, and allow for the spacious display of each work. Preliminary venues under consideration include El Museo Experimental El Eco, Espacio de Arte Contempor\u00e1neo (ESPAC), and el Laboratorio Arte Alameda.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[{"names":"Kirsten","surname":"Gill","email":"kirstenm.gill@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"543808290","address":"561 Madison Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221","city":"Brooklyn","nacionality":"USA","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1988-10-04T04:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1988-10-04T04:00:00.000Z","telephone":"603 986 4206","web":null}],"lang":"es","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/389239472","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":7,"names":"Rachel","surname":"Valinsky","email":"rachelvalinsky@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"464643713","address":"235 Covert Street, Apt 1, Brooklyn, NY 11207","city":"Brooklyn","nacionality":"USA, France","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1990-12-25T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1990-12-25T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"646 842 0971","web":"rachelvalinsky.com"}
