NEO NORTE
IN VENICE
FILANDO PELLEGRINANDO
The act of relational art ‘Filando Pellegrinando’ (Spinning Pilgrimage) invites women who are or have been the victims of violence in Sicily, young people in vulnerable situations, or individuals involved in social/cultural projects, to reflect on the balance between the need for protection on the one hand and the need for freedom on the other. The activities sponsored by the Rotary Club Palermo Est and honouring the 400th anniversary of Saint Rosalia, are scheduled to take place between the 4 – 6 October in Palermo, Sicily.
Tere Chad has invited the ‘Samka’ Bolivian artist duo, composed of Andoro del Trueno and Andrés Vargas, to showcase ‘Samka Meets Neo Norte’, a performative project that will take place during the Bloomsbury Festival from 18 – 19 October. The project invites migrant audiences to connect with the cultural values of the Global South by bringing pre-Columbian Andean rituals to the urban scenario. The project is being supported by the Contemporary Bolivian Arts Trust and the Bloomsbury Festival.
SAMKA MEETS
NEO NORTE
(Threading Organisms) is a participatory textile art project that invited the community of Nuevo León (Mexico) to observe the symbiotic relationships between living creatures. The project, facilitated by Tere Chad and the Mexican Academic Cordelia Rizzo, offered the community a residency programme (February – June 2024) and two concluding performances at Centrito Valle and the Auditorium of Centro Cultural Plaza Fátima, San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, Mexico.
HILANDO ORGANIMOS
ON THE EDGE 2.0
An exhibition by 43 members of the Royal Society of Sculptors was on display at the OVADA, Oxford (July 2024). The exhibition explored the relevance of sculptural practices at a time when the world is On the Edge of uncertainty. On The Edge 1.0 was also shown at the Espacio Gallery (London 2023). The exhibition showcased work by members of the Royal Society of Sculptors who had initially got to know one another at Zoom meetings during the pandemic.
The Neo Norte 4.0 performance in Sicily is an invitation to reassess which cultural values offered by the Global South are particularly relevant when facing the challenges of the 21st Century
