PREMONITIONS Finissage

Artist Talk w/Guadalupe Aldrete & Sophie Douala
Performance w/Nina Sandino

We invite you to the closing event of the installation Premonitions by Guadalupe  Aldrete & Sophie Douala. The artist talk will be followed by the performance BECOMING MANGROVE by Nina Sandino

BECOMING MANGROVE

Becoming  Mangrove is a performance-based research project that explores oral  tradition, ecological interdependence, and caregiving through the figure  and ecology of the mangrove. Rooted in Rama cosmology (an Indigenous  people from the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua), feminist and decolonial  theories of care, and contemporary sound and performance practice, the  work approaches shapeshifting not as metaphor but as a strategy of  survival—one grounded in listening, adaptation, and responsibility  toward more-than-human worlds.
