Abstract:
Sur Sur is a collaboration between dance, performance and visual artists and researchers from Santiago, Chile and Auckland, New Zealand. Sur Sur is supported by dance programmes at the University of Auckland and the University of Chile and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneó, Santiago. Initiated by Marisol Vargas (Chile) following her residency in New Zealand and involvement with Carol Brown through the DART project (Dance and Visual Art, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki / Dance Studies the University of Auckland) the catalyst for the project is a desire to develop collaboration between visual artists and performance makers from the Global South who share an interest in questions of identity, belonging and artistic responses to contemporary crises through inter-arts processes. The artists met and workshopped together in Santiago generating a performance and exhibition presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Santiago 16-18th November; with the exhibition running 16th Nov - 3rd Dec 2017. A Symposium hosted by the Museum and University of Chile explored critical contexts of decolonisation through dialogues around instability and change, between art forms and creative communities.Carol Brown presented her dance video, Releasing Her Archive as part of the exhibition and performed a choreography developed in response to the provocations of Sur Sur and her recent research into moving archives.
