comedores de terra by Katxerê Medina och Isi de Paula
Performance: Katxerê Medina and Isi de Paula
Vídeo: Katxerê Medina
Text: Isi de Paula
Duration 10 minutes
In this performance (work-in-process), the viewers encounter a spatial montage where poetry is woven together with bodily and cinematic sequences. The artist, Katxerê Medina, has taken inspiration from the legend of the Brazilian Krahô people about the corn goddess after whom she is named. In collaboration with the poet Isi de Paula, she has created a new interpretation of this legend. This is framed by the political situation in Brazil whose fascist and misogynistic government not only destroys nature but also the alternative cosmologies that offer other options than their worldview.
Opening, drinks and music 5 PM. Performance is going to have two sittings at 7 and 7.30 PM.  8 audience members can come in the gallery at one time.
