What can water teach us about politics, life, or society? And if we ask the same question, but replace the body with water? Converging the frameworks of the exhibition Exercises in Transformation—Sergio Zevallos with the presentation of Seba Calfuqueo’s performance flowing like waterfalls for the start of A Participatory Planet, HKW’s curator of performative practices Atabey aka Carlos Maria Romero hosts a conversation among queer performance art practitioners of different generations coming from Abya Yala, the contested Americas. Prioritizing bodies as first-hand tools for learning and unlearning, for resistance and insistence, as well as for sensual, ethical, and spiritual relationality and exchange with other human and non-human beings, Zevallos and Calfuqueo have developed a body of work that offers somato-aesthetical approaches to process and react to the ways in which hegemonic powers act upon populations and territories of the region. Departing from the mutual admiration between the two artists, the conversation will touch on their strategies, positionalities, and histories, and the points of similarity and difference within their practice, and how they are inscribed within the particularities of the contexts that they speak of and to. Using non-binarism as a scope, the conversation will expand on potential practices of destabilizing colonial inscription. Does the assignment of a certain body, gender, or sexuality carry within it the possibility of transcending that same assignment? Is the very concept of disobedience an inherent aspect of obedience?
