16:00 – 20:00: FILM PREMIERE BY ALEJANDRA MONTOYA
21:00 -21:45: SOUND HEALING RITUAL BY MITOTILI
SHADOW OF VENUS is an experimental short film, set in the epistemological space of the internalized coloniality of a mestiza, where the sense of self relies on the eurocentric and patriarchal world-view that is perpetuated in Abya Yala. Displayed as a 3 channel video installation, the film tells about the interrelation between the human body and the celestial bodies, Venus and Moon, since they share periodicities and cycles: the lunar and the menstrual, the venusian and the gestational. Through an introspective meditation the mestiza goes into a spiritual journey in synchronicity with the moon and venus, where the mind, body and spirit become the territory in dispute.
Alejandra Montoya (she/her), born and raised in Mexico City, is a multidisciplinary visual artist, working with experimental video, photography and text. Joining spirituality with her artistic practice, she explores identity and its creation through decolonial thought from Abya Yala. She presents SHADOW OF VENUS as her graduation project in Fine Arts of the Kunsthochschule Kassel.
MITOTILI SOUND RITUAL: Bridging mexican ancestral wisdom and healing practices.
From the nahuatl huichol term for "sacred ritual and ceremony", MITOTILI is a transformative project by Cristina Bucardo that aims to connect ancient Mexican wisdom with modern healing practices integrating traditional Mexica energetic work with a contemporary expression of prehispanic music.
THE SHADOW´S PURIFICATION - 'The White Tezcatlipoca' is an immersive sound healing journey designed to guide participants towards the exploration of their unconscious energy and establish a harmonious relationship with their personal darkness. It serves as a reminder that our shadows are companions in our life's journey and gradually leads us to the illuminated path of Quetzalcoatl where wisdom is cultivated and the spirit is awakened.
Sound healing allows access to deeper levels of inner wisdom and healing with the use of specific instruments, music and tones.

publication cover
I had the pleasure to contribute in the realization of this online publication. I was presented with an 80 page long transcript of the sound marathon Transtlantic Sounds to be translated into an interactive pdf. I read it, watched it, digested it and began photographing what could work as a stage for the performing words. I colored the words and put them on water, on leaves and the sky. Sound is embedded on the cover of each chapter to go along the reading. I am very thankful for the trust and freedom I had to develop this project. You can watch it but you have to download it to listen to the transatlantic sounds.
