Affirming the value and survival of her ancestors’ indigenous knowledge, Mexican-British artist Mónica Alcázar-Duarte examines western society’s obsession with speed, expansion and resource accumulation at a time when ecological disaster looms.
Join us for a performance by the artist in her current exhibition Digital Clouds Don’t Carry Rain at Autograph. Using performance as a medium of physical reflection, this event is inspired by the concept of Nepantla: a word of Aztec origin referring to the area between two bodies of water, or in-between-ness. During the performance Alcázar-Duarte will acknowledge the effects of colonisation within indigenous communities and its effects on ecology today.
As the event starts, you will be invited to immerse yourself in the exhibition. The performance will last approximately 10 minutes, after which there will be a drinks reception and a chance for informal conversation amongst the artist and attendees.
This is an intimate event, and to ensure the best experience for everyone only a very limited number of tickets are available. We recommend early booking.
