CUERPO: collective-body is an ongoing research process that places the body at the centre of knowing and enquires how it may exist within the very function of art production and art education; a site and methodology where my artistic and teaching practices intertwine and intervene public and private spaces.
CUERPO: collective-body invites a way to collaborate and organize as a larger organism, one that engages in shared sensing and collective embodiment. It is a powerful response to the sometimes disembodying spaces of academic and artistic institutions. CUERPO embodies a politics of care and listening, a profound awareness of breath, and an attunement to internal and external sensory experiences. Since its inception, I've had the privilege to present CUERPO's work at esteemed venues such as The Vancouver Art Gallery (2018), Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery (2019), Or Gallery (2019, 2020), the City of Vancouver (2022), and SFU Art Gallery (2023).
CUERPO is integrated by a fluid group of young artists and guest mentors. Among our founding participants are Chipo chipaziwa, Sai Di, Azul Duque, Jelena Markovic, Angelic Poverski, Dalia Shalabi, Aerial Sunday-Cardinal, David Wang, Yasmine Whaley-Kalaora.
