PART III: 27, 28 and 29 nov
Theatre of Justice
Free online event
Creations by the collectives Identidad Marrón (Argentina) and Escena Política (Argentina), in dialogue with guest artists Lucrecia Martel (Argentina), César González (Argentina) and Kadiatou Diallo (South Africa / Switzerland).
This will be our last meeting of the first edition of RAZA & FICCIÓN and it will be held by the collectives Identidad Marrón & Escena Política , which, after a process of 3 months of work, will exhibit a series of videos designed and set in the environment conformed by the Colón Theater, Presidente Roca Primary School and the National Palace of Justice, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
These collective creations appeal to different types of registers and genres: documentary, television, fiction, performance, intervention, to expose the racist story that these buildings, streets, names, and history enunciate, and about which apparently we have nothing to ask ourselves.
Everybody will be welcome to this open, public and free anti-racist artistic exploration.
Listening rounds (Optional)
The piece "Justice must be invented" can also be heard in collective listening rounds in public spaces located in different cities and towns of the country and the region.
You can join a live listening round in these cities: Ingeniero Huergo (Rio Negro, Arg), Fiske Menuco (Gral Roca, Rio Negro, Arg), Neuquén Capital (Neuquén , Arg), Junin de los Andes (Neuquén, Arg), Niebla (Valdivia, Región de los ríos, Chile), Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires, Arg), Parque Ameghino (CABA, Arg), Bahía Blanca (Buenos Aires, Arg).
Friday 13 NOV 19h Premiere
Please bring a mobile phone with headphones and enough mobile data. Someone from the meeting will wait for you, and walk you to the round.
At the end of the listening, we will give a fanzine made by Soraya Maicoño and Dani
Zelko to those who come to listen.
In a global context where the concepts of race and colonialism, and the relations that they propose to the interior of societies are put into question, we put the magnifying glass on the way in which they operate within the cultural field of Argentine society. From this urgent standpoint emerges a reflective and performative device that enables exchange between artists and thinkers from different territories emerges, addressing -with local productions- global problems and possible future ways of relating to each other.
These meetings are creative exchanges between collectives and individuals, thinkers and artists, thoughts and practices. In this flow of materials, we investigate the forms in which racism and the fictions it sustains are intertwined in the present, the past and the future. These meetings will revolve around the questions that this urgent raising of awareness opens up.
