How do we recognise the other in times of instability and change? Sur Sur is an encounter between cultural differences and a discovery of synergies within the Global South.
Sur Sur was developed through collaboration between performance makers and visual artists from New Zealand and Chile.
Initiated by Marisol Vargas following her residency in New Zealand and involvement with Carol Brown through the DART project, the catalyst for the project was a desire to develop collaboration between visual artists and performance makers who share an interest in questions of identity, belonging and artistic responses to contemporary crises.
Over seven days the artists met and workshopped together in Santiago generating a performative installation event and exhibition. Alongside the exhibition a Symposium hosted by MAC and University of Chile explored critical contexts of decolonisation through dialogues around instability and change, between art forms and creative communities.
Carol Brown presented video and performance arising from the research project Releasing the Archive (Dancing Sculpture, NGV Melbourne; Tempo Dance Festival 2017) and collaborated with Marisol Vargas, Alys Longley, Máximo Corvalán-Pincheira, Natalia Bakulic, Macarena Campbell, Ángel García, Dominique Goujon, Mark Harvey, Elisa Loncon, Daniela Marini, Francisca Morand, Bernardo Oyarzún on a visual performance installation and event.
This event was enabled through support from Dance Studies, the University of Auckland and the Dance Department, the University of Chile as well as Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Santiago, Chile.
