LABEXP1- Disobedient Voices

WITH Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] (MEXICO) and Meno del Picchia (BRAZIL)

Trans performer and slammer Lia Garcia [La Novia Sirena] and musician Meno del Picchia will work the voice breaking and its fragments in this lab. The dissents’ vocal production will gain the centrepiece from the shout, the lament, the cry and the echo derived from resistance stories. The voice as a vocabulary of trans resistance, as emotive production element and as collective pain memory. On each activity day a different concept will be focused:

Day 1: The wound – The injured body’s voice; the alphabet of wounds as a remnant of the contextualized city.

Day 2: The scar – The wound’s residue (“here it hurt, here I healed”); the scar as a footprint and as a body-emotive memory to weave the resistances and alliances between our struggles.

Day 3: Trans / deformation – The voice as a spearhead to imagine new bodies, new worlds and new ways of speaking of our pain.

The dynamics will be based on elements of the spoken word / expanded poetry, performance, trans and gender perspective and will rely on the musical provocations of Meno del Picchia.

WHEN

February 29th to March 2nd, Saturday to Monday, from 9am to 1pm.

WHERE

Tusp – Teatro da USP, Sala de Oficina (2º andar do CEUMA/TUSP)

LABEXP2 – Insurgent Memories

WITH Paula González Seguel (CHILE) and Eduardo Chatagnier Perez (BRAZIL)

Chilean director and activist Paula González and Brazilian video maker Eduardo Perez propose an autobiographical experimentation lab, in which participants will be able to investigate – through interviews and the recording of testimonies with residents of an occupation – memories, wounds and pains rooted in their bodies. Thus in order to seek a root, a connection with the land, with its ancestors and the many social and political, historical and contingent issues that cross its territory (corporal and geographical), conceiving art as a thoughtful tool of social-political transformation of individuals and their context. The video in as an attempt to capture the ephemeral and transform the story into a tangible and direct record.

WHEN

March 4th to 6th, Wednesday to Friday. March 4th and 6th, from 9 am to 1 pm, and March 5th, from 9am to 4pm.

LABEXP3 – Nuisance Presences: Where Is Defiance?

WITH Maria Galindo (BOLIVIA) and Fany Magalhães (BRAZIL)

The lab aims to provoke participants to rethink the creative process beyond the institutionality of art and within the huge field of politics. Each day, the Bolivian Maria Galindo (Mujeres Creando) will conduct a theoretical and a practical session, supported by performer and visual artist Fany Magalhães. The following contents will be carried out:

Day 1 – Voice in the first person (testimony; muteness; mediation)

Day 2 – Occupation of public space (the street; the museum; the art system; politics)

Day 3 – What is the politician today? (metaphors’ construction; the symbolic universe analysis: how many layers do the symbols have?; symbolic displacement; construction of languages)

In the experimental session, there will be time for both concrete exercises and to prepare creative objects that will be performatively exhibited by each participant on the last day’s activity (March 13th), after the performance A Jaula Invisível, by Maria Galindo. Thus, it is mandatory that each member of LABEXP bring a Bible or an old chair (of any type and size), which can be handled.

WHEN

March 10th to 13th, Tuesday to Friday, from 9am to 1pm. March 13th, will be open to the public.
