Participative activation with
Florencia Sosa Rey
at

SBC art Gallery, Montreal, Canada

Drawing on excerpts from Gloria Anzaldúa and José Esteban Muñoz, Florencia Sosa Rey invites us to explore the possibilities of collective creation. Through conceptual and relational considerations in drawing and performance art, the group will be invited to the making of a textile installation. Translating hybrid forms of non verbal conversation, the work will delve into contradictory modes of identification in order to create a world.

Participants: Marcela, Nuria, Mila, Helena, Amanda, Emeren, Pilar,
