Violeta Luna is a San Francisco-based performance artist. Her works reflect and inquire upon the relationship between theatre, performance art and community engagement.
“I will speak about the strategies of ‘apapacho’ (to embrace or caress with the soul) built at a distance due to the pandemic; of the bonds of sisterhood woven through performative languages between countries, artists, and their communities.”
Violeta Luna es una artista de performance con sede en San Francisco. Sus obras reflexionan e indagan sobre la relación entre el teatro, el performance art y la participación con la comunidad.
“Voy a hablar sobre las estrategias de ‘apapacho’ (abrazar o acariciar con el alma) construidas a distancia debido a la pandemia; de los lazos de hermandad tejidos por medio de lenguajes performativos entre países, artistas y sus comunidades.”
Eugenia Cano: “Theatre, as life, is a celebration.” How can we regain theatre through virtual medias? Three different plays during the lock down period.
Verónica Moraga and Antonieta Muñoz dreamt of a Magdalena in Chile and created the Mestiza, extending the net-work, generating opportunities for women to speak with their own voices, gaining spaces and maintaining those already conquered, in order to continue creating other realities through performing arts.
“We will talk how we have managed to meet and connect with other Latin American women throughout the pandemic, talking and giving visibility to the stories of this, our territory through each woman-artist participating. We will talk about women’s strength when working collaboratively. We feel and see performing arts as a vortex where we converge convinced that art has the power to transform reality. Today in this journey we approach an investigation that involves creative women from 7 countries in South America.”
Verónica Moraga y Antonieta Muñoz sueñan un Magdalena en Chile y crean el Mestiza, extendiendo la red, generando instancias para que las mujeres hablen con su propia voz, ganando espacios y manteniendo los ya conquistados, para así seguir creando otras realidades desde las artes escénicas.
“Hablaremos como hemos logrado encontrarnos a lo largo de esta pandemia en conversatorios y encuentros virtuales, con mujeres de América Latina, hablando y dando visibilidad a las historias de nuestro territorio atravesadas por la mirada de cada mujer artista presente. Hablaremos de la fuerza que proyectamos y tenemos las mujeres cuando trabajamos colaborativamente. Sentimos y vemos las artes escénicas como un vórtice donde confluimos convencidas de que el arte tiene el poder de transformar la realidad. En este recorrido, hoy nos acercamos a una investigación que involucra a mujeres creadoras de 7 países de Sudamérica.”
