Alex Baczynski-Jenkins is back in town! Fewer things make us happier than #culturescapes artists coming back. If you didn’t have a chance to see their mesmerizing performances in @kunsthallebasel during #culturescapes2019poland, don’t miss your chance now! Alex Baczynski-Jenkins does not choreograph performers, movements, or scenery. He choreographs relations and communication beyond words. In Untitled (Holding Horizon), performers move in and out, quicker or slower to the blaring beat. The darkness of the space envelopes them and unites with the audience. On the threshold of visibility and invisibility, a dizzying dynamic of collectivity, intimacy and dependence emerges. Over the course of three hours, during which the audience can come and go as they please, the performance develops a community-building and trance-like power through repetitive, slightly shifting rhythms and evokes changing associations: a ghostly gathering, a coming together in resistance or mourning, the faded memories of a rave.  🗓️ April 3-4, 19:00, Kaserne Basel @kasernebasel @baczynski.j 📸 Alex Baczynski-Jenkins.

Taita Hernando Chindoy, a governor of the Inga nation in Colombia and a participant of Culturescapes 2023 Amazonia, is back in Switzerland. Years ago, Chindoy set the stage for the emergence of Wuasikamas—Guardians of the Earth 🌎. Wuasikamas is a practice centered on a profound respect for human and nonhuman life, which allowed Inga to initiate a process of territorial defense, conservation practices, and autonomous governance. The principles of Wuasikamas helped to reestablish traditional Inga chagras, or Indigenous gardens filled with medicinal and edible plants, in which conservation, learning, and spirituality are practiced within each family. 🌱 Chindoy is a great advocate and enabler for “pluriversities”—educational initiatives that question Western ideas of the world and promote multi-perspective Indigenous and other knowledge systems. He is a representative of the international pluriversity initiative Ëconeêrã. Last weekend at the Engadin Art Talks, he spoke about the harmonization of knowledge, biospirituality, and the Indigenous work to heal the damages done to Earth in the last 500 years. Next week, February 7 at 18:00, he will discuss pluriversities at the Museum der Kulturen Basel (in Spanish with German translation). You can always listen to him speaking with an artist, Felipe Castelblanco, and a cultural promoter, filmmaker, and musician of the Kamënstá nation, Ayênan Quinchoa Juajibioy, during Culturescapes 2021 Amazonia on our website. Link in bio ☝️ And our amazing book “Amazonia. Anthology as Cosmology” which contains his interview is still available at Sternberg Press. @hernandochindoyinga @museumderkulturenbasel @engadinarttalks @felipecastel #culturescapes #culturescapes2021amazonia #amazonia #amazonas #colombia🇨🇴 #inga #biodiversity #indigenous
