A performance by Luïza Luz, Chao Li und D’Andrade, at the exhibition Whose Expression? at Brücke-Museum.
The project is a performance about dreams and traumas, and how these two dimensions can be connected through visual and sonic elements. The artists will present an interdisciplinary performance in the space of the Brücke-Museum that will enter into direct dialogue with the architecture. With a combination of sculptural method and ephemeral performance, they will create a temporary performative installation. Traum/Trauma is based on inner as well as outer experiences. The conceptual approach of the performance is to express how young people experience and deal with trauma and dreams in a time of climate change, technology and complex political struggles in capitalist and postcolonial societies.These narratives are expressed through the body, sound and the spoken or sung word in different languages (Portuguese, Chinese, English and German).
D’Andrade is a non-binary musician*, poet* and writer* whose conceptual approach is inspired by Afro-futurism and decolonial theory. The focus is on developing investigative works, new narratives and counter-narratives Sound design, coding, archives and interactions are D’Andrade’s tools. D’Andrade co-curated the interdisciplinary festival “Jardim Suspenso” in Brazil and in 2020 founded the solo project “Noise Vivarium”, based on open workshops in which sound experiments, decoloniality and nature play a major role. D’Andrade’s work has been exhibited internationally and in Berlin, including at Sophiensälen, feldfünf, nGbK, Iwalewahaus and the AKE ARTS & BOOK FESTIVAL in Nigeria.
