SEGUIR, Stages a body that demanded patience and appreciation trough the recovery of surgeries to remove endometriosis and tumours. It is about the female self, identity and resilience in a body that is transforming while ageing, while living, while dancing. On this work I take space and time for a ritualistic momento to honor my body and women’s body, while dancing on stage with a shimmery yet dangerous company.

PLATAFORMA BERLIN 2023
Decolonial and intersectional BIPoC/Latinx (Black Indigenous People of Color/of Latin origin) platform for dance, performance, installation, documentary, discourse and screen dance.

PLATAFORMA BERLIN makes the body the protagonist and overarching theme, exploring the current existential crisis of humanity; it is a transdisciplinary reflection that connects the ancestors and the future of human and non-human bodies in the twilight of ecological catastrophe. PLATAFORMA BERLIN creates a movement of intercontinental Amazons & Shamans proposing geopolitical actions that address the way we influence society with myths, rituals, animality and statements about progress.

The artists* from Bolivia, Mexico and Peru invited to this 10th edition of PLATAFORMA BERLIN embody the transformation of colonial wounds and break the spell of colonial programming.

PLATAFORMA BERLIN is an initiative of BIPoC/Latinx curator Martha Hincapié Charry in collaboration with a group of local artists and institutions including Barazani, DOCK 11, Radialsystem, Instituto Cervantes, Uferstudios Berlin, Mime Centrum, Goethe-Institut and Ibero-American Embassies.
