This project initially manifested materially during my time in Rosy Simas Danse Residency Program in October 2021. Inhabiting space for uninterrupted time permitted emergences, eruptions, medium-crossings, visual art 2D and 3D, voice and a re-naturalization of my body sounding towards the environment. An outpour, floodgates opening.Tethering forward, another anchoring event is the time I spent in Guna Yala, in the town of Armila, for three weeks in May 2022, where I lived with the Guna people and their traditions. Geographically proximal to my region of origin, there were abundant sharings across the community. A continuous flow of water in, water out. I am sharing audiovisual records as a way of experience-building with you in the space. Upon my return to Minnesota, I worked in Rosy Simas’ space again, updating materials and processing audiovisuals. There were two small showings of performance: one in October 2021 at 331 Space in Minneapolis, and one during my time in Guna Yala, where we walked with the community to the creek in the jungle. I performed, and later we swam together.This work pours from a lens rooted in my Venezuelan and Caribbean nature experiences, along with my relationships to nature across my time as an expat. This lens is contextual and connected with communities and spaces I have spent time with over the years. This lens is interlaced with my queer experience (my gender and sexuality as well as politics) transnationally.
