ArtVenture: Movement for Liberation with Cheryl Delostrinos
How can our bodies help us understand or imagine how liberation looks and feels? Join dance artist Cheryl Delostrinos for this intergenerational movement workshop in conversation with Donna Huanca: Magma Slit. Huanca’s installation is a complete sensory experience, evoking slippages of space and time that invite participants to both find and lose themselves, thus creating the conditions for liberatory meditation. Pausing within these slippages, Delostrinos will guide participants to celebrate the beautiful shapes, woven complexities, and hardworking vessels of our bodies.
